Boston University's stereotypes

Hey guys,

It seems like an obvious stereotype that BU got a lot of international students. While there are pros to have a diverse community, is there any disadvantages to have so many student bodies?

So think of it as a massive high school and each group has sub groups with cliques. Normally you might have some issues with languages but all students should be able to speak English to a working extent. Other than that it’s mostly the biases that different groups have but even then it 99% of the time a non issue. So in my mind there are no significant cons to avoid diversity besides the cliques.

Hope this helps and feel free to comment if you’s like clarification as I’d be more than happy to help!
