A Collegia Assistant, Nagi is at the International Collegium nearly every day of the week working, studying, and socializing.

Why did you choose 中出影院?

I really like learning about different countries. As a major, I don鈥檛 study them in class, so being part of different communities on campus lets me learn more about the different cultures that are at 中出影院.

How has 中出影院 helped you聽adjust to living in a new country?

Being an , I definitely got homesick for a聽couple of weeks. I attended at the beginning of the year, which helped, and the has such a good vibe and gets so much natural light because of the large windows. It鈥檚 an amazing study area and a great place to hang out in between classes.

What鈥檚 your favourite part about the Collegium?

I鈥檓 from Bali, Indonesia. Back home, our study spaces are always open like this. It鈥檚 a nice space to study in鈥攅specially in the winter when there鈥檚 less sunlight. Everyone is always really friendly. A lot of people who come here, I see them every day. This Collegium is an international one, so a lot of the international food is cooked in the kitchen. It smells good all the time!

"The close-knit community of the campus fosters a very supportive learning environment. I find it very easy to get to know people here and have personalized interactions with both my profs and peers which have been very instrumental in my success so far.
