I have many friends who study in American, Australian and British colleges, far away from homeland, yet they all seem to have a really have great time in the company of multi-ethnic friends over there. This is a phenomenon which deserves some focusing on. I think it the multi-ethnic mix can be truly advantageous in many ways. First, it helps one get to know about different cultures. Students who come to study at a foreign location are a great way to introduce oneself to their languages, nations, and even religions. It ennobles one. Basking in the diversity that one is suddenly exposed to can be beneficial to appreciate and analyse one's own cultures and traditions as well. I have seen some of my friends becoming more conscious individuals when it comes to being averse to one's heritage and traditions, and one's roots, all thanks to their wide exposure to the broad-based human pageantry. One is able to connect better with one's true self, or true identity, and one can imbibe a positive global identity, without any conflict generation to do so. One picks up good traits, and should hopefully shun the bad traits that may have been ingrained due to a certain shallowness. Hence, to sum up, make friends from far & wide, as it is all the more fun.
