I'm an international student at the university of hawaii system majoring in communications. The uni is very diverse. There are many (local born) Filipinos but I prefer hanging out with my fellow international students from Japan, Korea and other Asian countries, primarily because I can relate to them. I have many Filipino professors, which I find very nice because I can freely converse in Tagalog every time I can't express myself in American English (hehe).
