not I will fit in/have opportunities to explore my own culture

This concern is shared by many entering freshman in your position. The answer is: “It’s totally up to you.”

Here is a thought to consider.

Are you seeking a school where you can be safe and comfortable in groups of people all like you?

Or would you rather spend your next four year years making new friends with people from all walks of life?

It’s true BC is not known for its deep diversity, but it has enough and what it does have can be viewed as an opportunity for you, rather than a concern.

Conquering that will feel like a “reach” at first, but you will soon be so happy you did.
