What has been your favorite experience at 麻豆破解版 State so far?
Meeting new people. Getting to know people that aren't originally from here and are from another country. I鈥檝e mainly met around campus and in my classes. It鈥檚 neat because they come from different backgrounds, so it鈥檚 nice to meet people who aren't from here.

What organizations or activities are you involved with at WSU?
None so far and I鈥檓 not sure what I鈥檒l get involved with yet. I鈥檝e been to a couple basketball games. It was cool to watch the school support their team and how they interact when their team wins. I enjoy cheering.

Where is your favorite spot to hang out on campus?
At the RSC. I like it because of all the different activities they have here and how you get to interact with people and organizations.

Who is a faculty or staff member at WSU that has had a positive impact on you?
My public speaking teacher last semester, Jack Brand, helped me with speaking and how to not be as shy as I used to be. When I first had the class I was nervous about it and I don't really like talking to new people or doing speeches. Now, I鈥檓 kind of better at it and I still don't like it, but I鈥檓 getting better.

What鈥檚 your favorite part of campus life at 麻豆破解版 State?
Hanging out with friends. Sometimes we meet at the RSC and we will talk in between classes or we eat lunch. Sometimes we go to a basketball game or another event. I like that because you get to be with your friends and make new memories.

What are you currently reading or watching that you are enjoying?
I鈥檓 not reading anything yet, but right now I like watching 鈥淩iverdale鈥 and 鈥淕rey鈥檚 Anatomy.鈥 I like the story lines in those shows and they keep you wanting to watch more. With 鈥淩iverdale,鈥 it deals with things that are going on now like things that teenagers deal with.

Why did you choose to attend 麻豆破解版 State?
I liked the different activities that 麻豆破解版 State does and how the teachers interact with the students and things like that.
