 Doing my high school, I'd already met a mindset that I'd be applying to the United States. There's like so many opportunities in Alabama. It has like opportunities that a college student is looking for. My name is Sonu Nama. I'm from Nepal. Most of the people out here don't know where Nepal is, so I just say it's a bit of India and China. They're like big nations. My college search process was very rigorous, I must say. I looked not just for academics, I looked beyond that, which included research and opportunities beyond the classroom setting. My search was kind of inclined first to my major, which is mathematics. In my major, there is a specific opportunity for students who are majoring in mathematics to couple that major with another major, and this is an exclusive opportunity that I think I have as a math student. The only problem that I had in the beginning was the language thing. I slowly got used to it, but I was enjoying my class so much. My honors classes are the most interactive class that I have because it's a lot of back and forth going between the professor and the students. In the beginning, it was smooth. I enjoyed so much, and I enjoyed making new connections in my classroom and talking with the professors. You have so much to explore and so much to gain after coming here and so many more people to meet.
