My classmates in St. john's University

I can't dare to think if I don't have my Taiwanese classmates in St john's University, what kind of life will I have in U.S? Although most people say "Studying abroad students should make more foreign friends not hometown classmates." I agree with this opinion but I feel constrained to say "Making friends with hometown friends indeed makes me happier." We can take care of and console each other correctly due to the same culture. The classmates also give me a lot of help from the courses. Most time we discuss the content from textbook after classes and do the report together. Another side also helping me is that we have a lot of happy time after classes. The recreation is very important for us since the first semester isn't a picnic. And we also need more time to read the textbook than American do because English isn't our native language. After these pressure from studying, using my native language to express and drain my feeling is a wonderful thing. The only drawback is that they can't help me improve my English; however, I am happy that I have these Taiwanese classmates and love getting to spend time with them.
