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.
