While completing the IPT degree I was not only able to interact with students from a wide variety of backgrounds, I was able to do so to such a significant extent that I was able to start noting tendencies amongst those from common backgrounds. These experiences were always positive, and often really helped me to get a sense of different approaches to things; they helped me learn from the experiences and predilections of others in the classes. I think the online nature of the interaction contributed MORE to community and cultural interaction than you might see in a traditional classroom setting.
