As my friend predicted, I changed my mind and wanted to go to college that fall. Hurriedly, I sent in an application to Marlboro College. Marlboro seemed like it would be a smooth transition from high school to college. My high school was a boarding school focused on experiential learning, with a diverse, close-knit student body.

Caste based discrimination is an often denied social reality of higher education campuses in India. The blindness to caste exists not only in conversations amongst students and faculty but also exists in academic curriculum and the administration of a University.

I needed to be able to connect everything to real life situations that the knowledge would be needed. Sometimes it was difficult for teachers, but they always were able to connect the new knowledge to something I already knew. I was also a very experiential learner.
