College can be a very revelatory adventure in one's life; it's a chance for personal growth and evolution. Pupils continue to discover who they can be and forge many of the essential skills to be a successful adult. But growth is not exclusively found in a classroom - the interactions which one has with his schoolmates, the life lesson received from an eccentric professor, the exposure to a different stance on an issue. As such, a diverse college experience tremendously enriches what you gain from your time at college.
