Speaking of diversity, Wesleyan is now the least racially diverse of the Little Three, and I’m guessing the socioeconomic gap might be even larger.

If you add internationals from Africa, Asia and Latin America, the total non-white population at Wesleyan hovers around 40%. But, race is only one part of the picture: Wesleyan has the third largest percentage of Pell Grant recipients in NESCAC a fact noted by the New York Times recently:

At Wesleyan, Susquehanna and some other colleges with relatively small endowments, lower-income students make up a relatively large share of the student body.
