After the earthquake in Nepal, my family had to be resettled. Within three weeks, my advisor and others in my department helped me get my ticket to go back home. People here are helpful, kind and generous. They are like family members. During Thanksgiving, our department has a tradition of a big potluck dinner, so we don’t feel like we are away from home.
