Every gameday is an experience in itself. The hype and pride surrounding our athletes, as well as events revolving around gameday, is its own culture, ingrained in the University. It was fun and made my university life unique. Though, as an International student, my first year was tough with a separate orientation to the local students that created a division between International students and local students. It took a bit of adjusting and truly putting myself out there to blend in. The separate orientation also made local students avoidant and cliquey towards the International students. Thankfully, there are a lot of internationally focused events from the International Student Service that made us comfortable and created our own circle.
