<p>The world is such a global place these days personally I don’t think out of state students add all that much to the college experience except they do add money to the college coffers. Kids in California are pretty much like kids in the midwest or kids in the NE. Everything moves at the speed of light these days. Back when I was in college there were differences in clothing, music preferences, and many other things with classmates from the other regions. Not so much anymore, they wear the same clothes, listen to the same music, sport the latest trends, get the same news and human interest reading on their mobile devices…my oldest went to a small college with kids from all fifty states and they were pretty much interchangeable with the exception of a regional accent here and there.</p>
