Paula Riveros is a Columbian INTO student majoring in International Affairs. Riveros was attracted to Marshall because of the small size of Huntington in comparison to other university cities. Currently, Riveros is volunteering Paula Riveros at the local Ronald McDonald House and eventually wants to get involved with local politics that will give her more knowledge for her major. So far, her favorite experience By JARED CASTO in America has been attending the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida with her friends. Although adapting to

for her, she believes the great people she has met and the INTOAmerican Marshall culture program and life have at a madeuniversity America has andbeen Marshall difficult University feel like home.

How long have you lived in America?

I've been here for nine months.

What has been your favorite experience so far? How do you think you have adapted to life in America? I went with my friends to Miami and we went to a music festival called Ultra… I used to travel every year and came to Miami because It’s been really hard. Everything is different from it’s close. But I always came with my family and it’s just really differ- my home country. But the people here are really ent when you go with your friends. We were people from five different friendly and they help me a lot. The INTO program countries and people asked “Where are you from?” I improved my helps me with every issue I have… The only stuff English, I had fun, and I met people. That was probably one of the best I’m really still wondering about is the food. experiences.

How and why did you choose to come to Marshall University? What are some activities or hobbies you like to do?

There was an agency I was looking at for studying English in the U.S. When I went there they showed I was looking actually for something related to volleyball… But it’s me a lot of universities in America and I was like really hard. First, if I want to join any team out of the university, I don’t “No. I don’t want big cities.” Then they showed have a car. It’s not like “take the bus” and the bus is here every fifteen me Marshall. They were like, “There’s no Spanish- minutes. It’s every hour. And I can’t take a taxi everyday because it’s speaking people there. There’s really just going to going to be expensive. So I really like to do kind of different activities. be you and a few others.” And I said, “That’s per- I was about to start, but I can’t because of my classes, going to the hos- fect. Because I don’t want to speak Spanish at all.” pital and helping children over there… I’m going to start with Ronald McDonald—go and cook for the people over there. So that’s my plan, actually. I’m already involved, but I didn’t have a way to get there. But I’m going to have a way soon and I’ll have fun… I also would like to go What are your plans after you graduate? and see something related with politics here.

After my undergrad, I think to start my graduate. And I’d like to do it in America. And since I’m doing that, I’d like to do an internship. My plans are to stay maybe here—probably Is there anything else that you want people not in Huntington, but in the U.S. Just not in my country, at least. I really like this [INTO Marshall] program. I have friends who are do- ing the same. They just go to another country and study English. It’s ok, you know. But INTO and this program, they’re different. They’re doing How do you keep in touch with your family? everything to make you feel at home… They make activities and just try to make you feel really safe. And I really like that and I’m sure that if it wasn’t like that, I probably would not be here. I would probably I don’t really talk with my family that much. Just once per week or not be home, but at a different place… They’re doing small things that once every two weeks. It’s not like my friends, who keep in touch every make people really like this. I’m here right now, actually, just because day. And I’m like “What’s wrong with me? I should be doing that!” I I can feel like someone is there. It’s not only with the program, it’s with really miss my family and sometimes I want to be there, but I feel like the people here at the university. if I talk with them everyday it will make it harder.
