<p>prompt: . <this college=""> is a diverse learning environment shaped by the convergence of ideas and cultures. How will your unique experiences or background enhance the University, and how will you benefit from this community?</this></p>

<p>That said, you can answer the question a number of different ways. Read these articles and it may help:
