I study at Oregon State University. I love it here because the campus is beautiful and it is extremely bike friendly.  

There are also many facilities in close proximity (gym, rock climbing walls, multiple fields, basketball/volleyball courts, swimming pool etc) which motivates me to get out for some work out! The people here are expressive and friendly; they always greet with "how's your day", or "how's it going", and are very willing to help.

I joined the rugby club and although I was new to the sport, the players were encouraging and patient. I also enjoy traveling to places nearby (West Coast) as I get the opportunity to be exposed to different people who have their own special story.
