[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid noticed. It didn’t change his choice, but coming from a diverse public school he notices that his private school is very white.

I don’t get the vitriol in the thread. If it’s not a consideration for your kid, maybe move along. I’m sure what anyone gains from being aggressive around the idea that it might actually be important to someone other than you. [/quote]

Thank you for humanizing diversity and making it a worthwhile factor for college students to consider. Just like gender, or weather, or rankings or any other factor that a student may decide could be pertinent to their college decision.

It’s so interesting to hear its dismissiveness from others.

I went to a very non diverse college and then a very diverse grad school. The vibes and environment are completely different. Think small town USA versus big metropolis.

After experiencing the latter, I could never do that undergrad experience again. So if students are getting that global diverse view in high school, I completely understand “shopping” for that in college.[/quote]
