When you think about college sports in America, the same three always come to mind: football, basketball, and baseball. These sports dominate the media, and playing them at a collegiate level requires a major commitment. What about those who are interested in playing other sports? What about those who want to be involved in a sport but require a more casual environment? What about those who want a social, competitive outlet but are not interested in mainstream sports?

When I decided to leave my home country for my undergraduate degree, I did not think about the changes I was going to face. To my surprise, my first year in a new country was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. I made many friends right away that were from Bolivia and having people around from the Latino culture made my first year in college easier.

People usually call me “Ryan” or “Mou” because many people can’t really pronounce my last name correctly. Right now I’m a freshman enrolled in the Walton College of Business majoring in International Business. During my spare time, I like to play basketball, watch Korean or Hong Kong dramas or any “blockbuster movie”. I am especially a big fan of food videos, like “Worth It” and videos on how food is made.

There are several types of housing options that you will find once you start looking. It’s important to consider what matters most to you when choosing a place to live. Some people might be certain that they want the experience of having a roommate (or several roommates) and living in a townhouse with lots of common area space is the best option for them. Others may know themselves well enough to be sure that they need complete privacy and a home all to themselves so a one-bedroom or studio apartment may be the better option in this case.

As a freshman, living in a residence hall was one of the best decisions I ever made. I continued to live with my Pomfret Hall roommate along with our other friends that we met in the Pomfret study rooms even when we moved to off-campus housing.
