<p>Fresh off the Boat is a really old expression, along with FOB.</p>
<p>I think most Asians at Brown are Asian-Americans, so are generally American in culture, but some having more or less ‘traditional’ family life. Internationals are there, but a minority.</p>
<p>Shy is not something I think is typical of Brown students. But I do think everyone can find their ‘own people’ there. You might have to settle for shy people who are not Asian. Or outgoing Asians. Maybe both will do?</p>
