I came across an article about a ranking of the universities in US. There are a lot of rankings around universities, but that one took my attention because it was written from an Asian American's standing point. I hope it would be your good reference for selecting the right school to go in for further education in USA.
**************************************
25 Great Asian American Universities (www.goldsea.com/AAU/25/25.html)
Asian Americans are the biggest minority in nearly every top 50 national university in the United States. In five they are either an outright majority or a plurality. In two dozen more, Asians comprise 20% or more of the student body. For Asian American students who like the society and support of an extensive on-campus Asian community, the number and concentration of Asians is a key factor in choosing a college. For many Asian Americans, college may be the one and only time in their lives when they can enjoy the experience of being a member of a racial majority. It's an experience that often produces a radical change in perspective and self-image, even future career choices.
This list is intended as a guide for those students whose experiences have taught them that race does matter in American society and that a community's racial composition can influence one's position, status and sense of well-being.
In arriving at the rankings we considered prestige, academic standard, quality of life on campus and environs, and the ambience as well as the concentration of Asians in the undergraduate student body. We also considered the many comments offered by our readers. This list isn't exhaustive (we had trouble narrowing it down to the top 25) but we hope it will serve as a starting point in the search for your ideal Asian American University!
