I found myself at CSUSB: Foreign student takes us through her journey
By Yerin Kim |Staff Writer| One short-haired, Korean student standing alone before the library, while holding a campus map, seemed lost. She managed to enter the first orientation day, but she couldn’t understand what the professor said.

One year later, she goes to the Santos Manuel Student Union (SMSU) where her friends are and they welcome her with smiles.

International student reflects on his time at CSUSB
By Jounghun Kim |Staff Writer| I came to CSUSB from Seoul, South Korea. on Jan. 8, 2012. It was my first day in the United States and I have been attending classes here as an international student for about a year.

First, I must throw away my trash all at once in America. In Korea, we have to separate the garbage, cans, bottles, papers etc. into separate bins. However, the most wonderful thing that I miss is the food crusher. It is so convenient to use. Here you have the “to go box.” In Korea, people usually do not … [Read more...] about International student reflects on his time at CSUSB
