“[Fletcher’s diversity] manifests itself through the great number of languages spoken at Fletcher, the fantastic cultural nights, the fun atmosphere and cooperative team work. All these different experiences and cultural perspectives come together to produce more profound, more original solutions both in the classroom and eventually in the real world for global issues. I have found this environment to be truly stimulating while accepting of different points of view, which I really appreciate. We challenge each other, but always with respect. This is very much the essence of Fletcher.”

“The diversity of the community at Fletcher continually amazes me. As Fletcher's 
curriculum is interdisciplinary, you will meet students from the private, public, non-profit sectors and everywhere in between. Having conversations with such a diverse group helps you see how many different approaches and perspectives are needed to truly create social change. Pretty much every international issue has an economic, legal, social, and political component, and being able to navigate how one change in an area affects another is critical to understanding how change occurs.”

"It is difficult to imagine the full range of diversity that Fletcher's student body represents. I share my apartment at Blakeley Hall with a news producer from Al Jazeera and a Peace Corps volunteer. I have met people from every imaginable profession - from human rights practitioners, to military professionals, to diplomats-in-training, to bankers. It has been such a great experience.”
