Multinational student body / national diversification - personal statement

Hello everyone,
I am writing a personal statement for a university admission, and I need some help with a sentence. I tried to change hundreds of times, and still does not sound or look right at all.

Here is the part I am struggling with:
"Another reason to seek admission is the university's multinational student body. That is very important to me because I am a representative of a foreign nation myself. "

or
"Another reason to seek admission here is the national diversification of the student population, this will make me feel more comfortable on campus since I am a representative of a foreign nation myself."

Thank you in advance to those who will help

Hi

"Another reason to seek admission is the university's multinational student body. That is very important to me because I am a representative of a foreign nation myself. "
or
"Another reason to seek admission here is the national diversification of the student population, this will make me feel more comfortable on campus since I am a representative of a foreign nation myself."

I guess you could be struggling with the disconnect between the two sentences? Or the Another reason part, or the myself part.. anyways, here are some possible alternatives. I hope they don't skew the sentence too much:

The university's student body was another attractive factor because as a foreign student, such a diverse group of peers would definitely be a plus.

The university's diverse student body was another reason I want to attend _such_and_such_university_ because I know interacting with such a group will give me the freedom to truly learn.

Just a Question though, what's the prompt for the personal statement? If this part of the prompt fits better in context, maybe you could post the other parts too. Good luck!

Cheers~

Dear Poster,

"Another reason to seek admission is the university's multinational student body. That is very important to me because I am a representative of a foreign nation myself. " . Here is the other options for you:

Another reason which i would like to choose the University is the international environment, because i am myself a foreign student.

or

Another reason for choosing the University is the multinational environment which provide international standard campus, facility, etc, because i am myself a foreign student.

Gook look,

The diverse student body of this university is a strong reason for me to apply.

As an international candidate, the diversity of the student body at this university strongly appeals to me.

Hope these help a bit.

"Another reason to seek admission is the university's multinational student body. That is very important to me, because I am a representative of a foreign nation myself. "

I added a coma after "me," but this is a nice way to say it.

This one is a run on sentence:
"Another reason to seek admission here is the national diversification of the student population, this will make me feel more comfortable on campus since I am a representative of a foreign nation myself."

Also, diversification is a process, so that is the wrong word. Diversity is the noun that refers to a state of being diverse.

The best way, though, is to make this simple point in a few words, so that it does not tax the reader's attention and waste space, and also express yourself a little at the same time:

Also, I desire an environment full of cultural diversity -- so that we international students will be in the majority!

:-)
