Cultural Diversity

By: Utsav Akhoury

One of the main reasons as to why i decided to come America for higher education is in this picture that I have uploaded, and if one is unable to guess then the answer is Cultural Diversity.
Having healthy relationships with people from all parts of the world is a very admirable quality in a person. The ability to mix with people from different cultures gives one a lot of advantage in the later days of their lives.

Here at Georgia Tech i have had the opportunity to meet different people such as Americans , African Americans , South Asians , Arabic , French and also a Russian. For me, being a person form India where the population of Indians alone is a billion, it was very hard to meet people from various parts of the world but since coming to Georgia Tech i had the opportunity to meet these people and befriending them. I have found out that even though they are from different cultures, they all want the same thing that is building healthy relationships with people.

I have noticed that most of the Indians here at Georgia Tech tend to stick together with other Indians which i totally dislike but it is nice to see that people from other cultures are very friendly towards people from other cultures and this has led me to believe that the issue of disregard towards certain cultures based on skin color or place of birth of its people does not exist anymore.

One can easily say that Cultural Diversity in colleges is one of the most beneficial elements in college life.
