Diversity

Coming from a very culturally diverse city in California, my first reaction to BYU was the lack of diversity of the school. The campus overall should be more accepting to diversity and people from different backgrounds. When you take a stroll along campus the overwhelming majority of the student population is Caucasian. The study body as a whole should become more welcoming and open minded of other cultures and views. Sometimes I feel that students are often too quick to judge and make assumptions about others because of how they look and where they come from. We should bring individuals from other backgrounds and cultures in order to make the student body as a whole stronger. We can learn and grow from other’s experiences that may be different from ours to help strengthen the campus. By being more aware and accepting of others cultures, and maybe even accepting those of different backgrounds into the campus more, the student body and atmosphere of the campus will benefit.
