I am a junior and the idea of being in a culturally rich environment sounds appealing. Any advice would be superb, cheers!
You have an interesting perspective and it's great to see that you're keen on immersing yourself in an internationally diverse environment! Such an environment can indeed offer abundant opportunities for expanding one's cultural understanding and perspective. Here are a few colleges known for their international diversity:
