Penn State Chinese Friendship Association (CFA) is really an important club for me, as well as every Chinese student in PSU, I believe. They offer generous help to every Chinese student coming to Penn State from our home country, such as airport picking, housing information, moving, and so on. They have a web forum (in Chinese) providing us a platform to communicate with other Chinese students sharing experience and information during the period living in this new county. Also there are wonderful activities like mid-autumn day party and the first Chinese Culture Festival. CFA also has many subdivisions. I often play on Saturday afternoon with our soccer club. Those are quite easygoing, entertaining people. My advisor, Xiaolong (Luke) Zhang, usually comes too! Talking to elders in CFA with similar culture background is extremely helpful when I entered this unfamiliar environment.
