What do you mean by ‘stick out’? From my experience, internationals do tend to cling together, and you can see that if you are international, but some also make friends outside of the international group. The internationals are generally more conservative than the Americans: for example, we don’t get naked and run around campus and then at Lewis & Clark.

The workload is really not that bad, but I’m only a freshman. However, I will be taking 300-level classes next semester so I will probably be able to get a better picture of what’s ahead. HUM is what you make of it, nothing to stress about. I’m kind of worried about the final, but people told me it will be ok. HUM conferences are like a book club, really.

It is possible to study hours after hours without getting tired here. Just take classes you enjoy and you should be fine.
