Last time Tony showed us how to meet Asians in US Colleges. In this article, the top ten US Asian colleges have been selected based on their Asian population
percentage, activities, clubs, Greek life, and more. Let’s take a look at number 10…

10 – University of Texas at Austin
Starting at number 10, we have the University of Texas at Austin. When it comes to Greek life, UT Austin is home of the Texas Asian Pan-Hellenic Council,

which is the governing body for four Asian-interest Greek organizations. Also, there are various Asian social clubs on campus, which are run by officers who

represent the wants and needs of the group members. Lastly, if you are very education-oriented, UT Austin provides many Asian similar-major groups, including

Asian Business Student Association and Asian Law Students Association. These interest groups are to educate in their respective areas of study while

promoting Asian bonding.

9 – Stanford University
Ah, our first of many California schools on the list… let’s see why Stanford made it to our top 10. Stanford’s population consists of 24% Asians. Although

this may be a relatively small amount compared to other UC schools, Stanford’s plentiful Asian social clubs make it worthy of number 9. Its range from

Taiwanese to Pacific Island groups makes it one of the most Asian-dynamic US Colleges. Most importantly, however, is Stanford’s Asian American Activities

Center. This internet-driven program serves as Stanford’s primary resource for Asian American student affairs and community development

8 – University of Maryland
Some of you are probably stunned by number 8. You might be thinking, “What? This is not a UC school. Plus, who’s even heard of the state of Maryland??” Well,

you are in for a surprise. Although the Asian percentage is not as high as it could be, College Park, the city around the University of Maryland has a

smaller Asian demographic. What does this mean for you? This means that many Asians that attend the University of Maryland are from out of state! Yes, this

also means that you can meet many Asians from around the country and around the world. Also, there is a branch under the 13-institution University System of

Maryland Diversity Network that promotes greater awareness and appreciation for Asians.

7 – University of California at San Diego
Here is another Californian school in our countdown. UC San Diego has an astounding 41% Asian population. This means that for every 5 people you meet, around

2 of them will be Asian. Since 1997, UC San Diego’s Asian population has increased by 29% almost linearly. This means that in 2010, 2012, or even further in

the future, the Asian population at UC San Diego will continue to increase, maybe to even over 50%. Alongside this, UCSD has many clubs and activities that

are Asian-dominated. The Diversity Matters counsel, for example, appeals to the school board every year in order to promote Asian awareness around the

campus.

6 – Polytechnic University of New York
The Polytechnic University of New York is one of the only schools on our list that is urban. Though you may not be familiar with this school, it is home to

37% Asians. Also, it contains one of the highest percentages of Asian-related social groups in the United States – 20%! Polytechnic UNY is located in

Brooklyn, New York, as has excellent science and technology research aspects. What else is so special about this campus? Well, it’s New York, of course! New

York is home to many national attractions, such as the Empire State Building, Time Square, and Wall Street. So next time you meet that significant other,

take her/him “on top of the world.”

5 – University of Pennsylvania
UPenn is famous for its wide variety of clubs and activities. If you attend an info session at UPenn, you will get a yellow sheet that lists over 200 clubs

and interest group. A good number of these are Asian based. These range from dragon dance club to WTF Tae Kwon Do club to more well-known ones such as the

Chinese Student Association. With its vast variety of these interest groups, Asians at UPenn can bond with each other through activities that they enjoy that

relate or do not relate to academics. Also, UPenn has many off-campus hang-out places for Asians. These include “hot” hot-pot joints and Thai cuisine diners.

4 – University of California at Davis
Here is where a chain of California schools comes in. However, number 1 is not in California. I’ll keep you guessing as I point out the fact that UC Davis

has a 41% Asian population. Also, UC Davis has one of the largest athletic programs in the nation. What does this mean for you? Attractive Asians of the

opposite sex of course! Still not impressed? Try searching for clubs that deal with the Asian population. You will be astounded by the amount and vast

variety of results you get. Furthermore, The Greek life at UC Davis consists of several Asian fraternities/sororities. Many of these have branches all

throughout the United States. The weather is good and the Asians are lively!

3 – University of California at Los Angeles
This number 3 school should come of no surprise to you. UCLA has a 38% population, and is one of the most popular schools in the United States that Asians go

to. Although the percentage is smaller, UCLA is a bigger school than UC Davis. You do the math. More Asians! UCLA is also home to some of the biggest Asian

sororities/fraternities in the United States. Finally, the reason why UCLA is so high on our list is because of the fact that it is located next to the

biggest superstar hangout in the world – Hollywood! Take a stroll around LA. You will be surprised as to the number of celebrities you see.

2 – University of California at Berkeley
UC Berkeley is second on our list because first of all, it has the highest Asian population so far, 42%. Secondly, UC Berkeley is an incredibly prestigious

school. Less than 10% of out-of-state applications succeed. Since most students at UC Berkley are from California itself, it might be hard at first to meet

Asians if you are from out-of-state. However, if you join one of many of its Asian-oriented interest groups, you will find yourself in a “network” of Asians

in no time. Also, since it is such a prestigious school, UC Berkeley offers some of the finest Asian classes. Some of these include culture, music, and dance

from respective countries in Asia. This is a good way to have fun, meet new people, and be active in school, all at the same time.

1 – University of Hawai’i at Manoa
Ah, finally! We reach number one in our countdown. Did you guess correctly? If so, you probably realized that UH Manoa has 71% Asians! Let me say that again.

SEVENTY-ONE PERCENT. If you’re a math whiz, you can probably figure out that out of every four people you meet, almost three will be Asian. This also means

that the majority of clubs on campus are either Asian-oriented, or contain a massive amount of Asians. Also, the school is home to many natives of Hawai’i,

which are in fact Asian. This way, if you are from out-of-state, you can learn the many traditions that Hawai’i has to offer while spending time with

potential new friends or lovers. So why Hawai’i? Well, it’s the Aloha state of course! With its beautiful weather, many water-based activities (surfing,

water skiing, etc…), and not to mention cute guys and girls, it’s no wonder Hawai’i is number 1 when it comes to US Asian colleges.
