[Opinions] Student name sighting for fall 2024 (part 1)
I teach history and method to college-level students. Most of them are between 18 and 22 YO and come from very different background. Our college is very multicultural and diverse, and not necessarily because of international students (tho we have some), but also because of the different cultural communities in the area. We are in a French-speaking country, but with the names, you'll be able to see the presence of an important Maghreb community, as well as Latino. Group 1
