There is one element of RM's IB
program that I had not realized how
much I appreciated and felt at home
in, until I found its parallel at my
university – that is the student culture
and demographics. My college has
the same range of diversity in
ethnicity, gender, religion, interests,
and educational and socioeconomic
backgrounds as RM had, and I love it.
