With international students who live faraway from their countries, choosing a place to live and study is absolutely an important decision. A place that is beloved and familiar like their home will inspire their studies. Like others, I’m an international student from Vietnam. I searched to look for many colleges in many states of the United States, such as Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, New York, Connecticut, and Kansas…but I ended up with Arizona. For a month living and studying at Arizona Western College of Yuma city in Arizona, life and people here have helped me reduce the distance that is almost a half of the earth. Now I’m confident to say that Arizona became my second family, Arizona is my home.
