Re: College Program, Diverse?

I just wanted to second Rowdy's endorsement of the College Program. I found the program really diverse in all areas - class, race, religion, ethnicity. I am not sure what the "living" set up is there these days, when I did my program, most of the international students still lived in the Commons and the domestic students lived in Vista Way, but we still had some overlap in Vista Way of people from all over the world. You never knew who you were going to meet on a daily basis. There was one afternoon that my roommate and I were coming back from grocery shopping and we got off the bus lugging all our packages. Before we knew it, two of the international students from Kenya came over and offered to help us carry our packages back to our apartment. They were so sweet and that story is just one example of all the great people you get to meet on the program!

I definitely wouldn't worry about the diversity issue - there are so many different people on the Program and the great part is that we all had at least one thing in common - a love for Disney! You will have a great time, I am sure of it!
