College is an immensely influential period in one's life; it's a time for personal progress and development. Undergraduates start to ascertain who they wish to emulate and learn the requisite skills to be a flourishing member of society. But learning goes far beyond a classroom environment - the campus dialogue, the funny story received from an eccentric instructor, the exposure to a different frame of reference. Therefore, finding a diverse college vastly improves what you gain from your time at university.
