College can be an especially revelatory time of one's life; it is an occasion for personal growth and maturation. Undergrads begin to find out what they can become and build many of the indispensable skills to become a thriving member of society. But learning goes far beyond a classroom environment - the interactions one has with his classmates, the life lesson learned from an eccentric instructor, the exposure to a different position. As such, attending a diverse college vastly improves what you gain from your time at school.
