Why Does Diversity Matter at College Anyway?

Tera, what do you mean that races are stronger when they do not inter combine? It's actually funny that you said that because, ironically, you don't get the idea of diversity. Had you truly been exposed and accepting of diversity, you would realize that intermixing with people who do NOT share the same value system, religions, or virtues as you do, actually helps you develop a more worldly perspective. It opens your mind to other possibilities and allows you to grow/expand as a person, as well as do all of the other things listed in this article. It's sad that you believe that just because a person marries someone of a different race, means that they abandon/tone-down their own beliefs. There is this great thing called compromise. And just because the person you marry doesn't have the same beliefs as you doesn't mean you have to change them. Please stop being so narrow-minded and jump into the twenty first century with the rest of us.

Anyway, this was a great article! I agree with Abby, in that college is great for experiencing diversity.

I think the cultural differences in college is a wonderful growing experience for teens preparing for the world. Many of them come from small towns, racist towns, and sometimes ignorant towns and the teens are secluded from the culture and diversity that is beyond their back yard. The diversity on campuses enhances compassion, understanding, and shows a student that they can relate to someone they originally thought they would have nothing in common with. That simple realization in itself opens up a whole new world of possibilities in the corporate world. Not only is the diversity on campus, but college gives many students the opportunity to study abroad. It's an invaluable experience that teaches things that years in college will not.
