I encountered many different accents in college. Some made it a challenge to understand what they were saying. My daughter experienced the same thing at WPI. You figured out how to communicate with people from all different cultures. And it goes much more than just language and accents.
I also encountered the same variety of cultures, accents, etc. in my professional life. So the experience in college and learning to more than cope but thrive in those situations is an important skill to learn.
