Rachel

Maryland boasts an incredibly diverse campus, and coming from a tiny, homogenous town, it's a welcome change. Many of my friends went to colleges similar in size as our high school, and thus they miss out on meeting people from all different backgrounds. It's great to make friends with stories completely different than my own. It expands my horizons by taking me out of the "bubble" of my hometown and high school.
