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. However, the problem with that is that I did not learn much about the U.S culture since I was still in the safety of my own cultural bubble.

Selamat petang kawan kawan! (Or “Good afternoon, friends!” My name is Ryan Moh, and I’m an international student from Malaysia studying at the U of A. 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.

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.
