<p>I should add that Asia House (Asian cultural interest house, non-freshmen can apply to live there) and Culinary House (cooking interest house, same deal) throw together sushi-making events from time to time open to the campus. If you want Japanese food badly enough to learn to prepare it from Japanese international students, living in Asia House would allow you to have it quite often. I think people who live in those houses get specialty ingredients from the cities when they can, and the international students living there make a lot of their traditional home foods.</p>
