Personally, I am currently a Year 2 student, and
despite not having much Filipinos around on campus (though I do meet up with
them when I can!), I have been able to thrive as an international student here
in general, meeting people from over 40 countries so far, sharing
my own Pinoy culture and language, and having fun along the way!
