Diversity in College

Hello my name is Erinn and I chose the topic of diversity in college because I live with 2 of my bestfriends who are african americans and 1 of my roomies from last year who is caucasian. We all thought that us living together is going to be great and we are going to have so much fun together. Then when the semester started and we all were going out together as roomies people were giving us confused/dirty looks about us being together. It just seems to be so weird to see 3 african american girls and on caucasian girl together. A lot of really awkward staring was what we had to look forward to as being roommates. So that is what gave me the idea to blog about and also something that others would be interested in and getsome cool feedback.

In college we all have a choice. College can either be the best years of your life or the worse. And everyone experiences college differently. It's up to you how your experience goes. But would you like to go through college with an open mind or a closed one!? Because in college you are going to meet some amazing people that will change your life. As well as some people that will only be in your life for a semester.

I think that everyone should go to college and experience the college life. And by going to a school that is prodominantly white or black I don't believe you get the full affect of the college life. Because by going to an all prodominatley white or black school you will be around your comfort zone and not experience all that college has to offer. So by going to a diverse college their are so many more possiblities and it gets you out of your comfort zone. Thats what diverse colleges can do for you and so much more.

The concept of diversity revolves around an appreciation both for the uniqueness and sameness of individuals in an increasingly globalized world. This dynamic notion includes, but is not limited to, the markers of race, gender, ethnicity, age, class and (dis)ability. Diversity serves as the core value for internationalization of Central Florida Community College as students and staff make positive contributions to a world unconstrained by geographic borders.
