This Week’s Best Questions on Discuss Campus – February 26, 2010
Boy oh boy! Here are this week’s best questions:
Dealing with Diversity?
Next year, I am moving to a college with about 55% of the Freshman class being that, while my class is originating from at least 40 other countries.
So, in essence, on top of the shock of meeting new people/making new friends/etc., I am pretty new to social diversity. I am totally not a racist, nor have a history of any social bigotry, or anything like that. I just would like to know some tips on meeting and making friends with people from around the world.
What websites are great for students?
By my question I mean what websites have you come across that offer unique and/or relatively useful information/features for students?
What is a good car choice for college students?
What is a good car choice for college students? Should I go with a cheap, reliable car? What type (SUV, sedan, coupe, etc.)? What brand(s) stand out?
Got the answer? Head over to Discuss Campus and start earning points. (If you haven’t figured it out already, it’s free!)
