I would echo the comments of @Happy4u. My U0 (a U1 in a few days!) has met kids from all over the world. His friend group includes kids from 4 continents (maybe 5). And this is just part of what naturally happens…it wasn’t forced or crafted. His world view has grown so much…I feel like I need to pay more attention to some world events just to keep up with him. A year ago, I would have said his world view was too small…hardly beyond Massachusetts in many ways.

Today he texted me to say how much he was going to miss Upper Rez and Montreal this summer. He’s excited to have no schoolwork for a few months…and a little home cooking. But he said the university and the city have just come to feel like home to him. As a parent, part of me is sad…but a larger part of me is thrilled. He is happy at a great school in a fantastic city and he is clearly on his way to adulthood.
