Being by myself.....
What if there aren't many international students from where you came from?
I came from Mongolia, a country located right in the heart of Asia. There are not many students from Mongolia at the university of Minnesota. I really wanted to join one of the Asian students organizations on campus, but most of them got this specific title, for example east asian students or asian american students. I just could not find the place where i could belong. So i was everywhere, here and there. I dont really belong to certain title. I think it is very cool. i have tons of friends and i am happy. if you are in same situation as me and dont know what to do, i would say just relax and enjoy. There is no restriction only certain people should join certain club. All the clubs and student organizations are open to everyone. So good luck!!

Hello everyone,
Adiya has an excellent point about student groups being open to everyone. We have over 300 students groups at the University of Minnesota. I recently had a student email me trying to find students from Nepal. We have about 30 students from Nepal and they formed their own Nepalese Student Group! There are also groups based on academic, sporting and of course cultural interests.
Find a student group that fits you at http://www.sua.umn.edu/groups/.
They have their own websites and love talking to new students before they arrive!
