Being an international student is being lucky enough to share your culture with other people; is learning about a country you love; and, is meeting and cherishing people with different background that will change your life! I chose IU Kokomo because of the class sizes. I was too scared of going to a bigger college, and I thank my fear for guiding me into entering IU Kokomo and all it has given me.
