<p>For me it was merely attending college that changed my perception of others. I grew up in a small town in the midwest which had almost no diversity (pretty much 100% white, european descent and Christian) and the first time I actually had an opportunity to meet people of other races,religions,cultures etc was when I attended college.</p>
<p>It’s different now for my kids. We live in the DC suburbs in a very diverse area, and their friendships already reflect that.</p>
