I think that a good start leads to a happy end, so after the first few days, I had the feeling that throughout the whole year I would enjoy myself and have a lot of fun. Moreover, during the orientation week I met many people, made interesting contacts, and formed positive friendships. The student orientation week is a nice beginning to college life at Wooster. My name is Naveed Ahmad from Pakistan. Diversity in the student body, liberal arts education, and a serene campus were the few things that brought me to Wooster.
Culture shock is one of the foremost fears in the minds of an international student.
As a newcomer to the US, I had to adjust to new social norms, language, and a different approach to life. The international community at Wooster is extremely diverse, and Babcock Hall is the hub of international learning and activities. All this made the 'culture shock' less painful, if not totally non-existent for me. I could never dream that I would be playing cricket, a game played with much enthusiasm in the Eastern half of the world, and listening to Hindi and Urdu music at the same time. My name is Callisia Clarke and I was born and raised in Jamaica.
