Meet our community. See yourself here.
As one student says, It feels like a sample population of the world, like little pieces of cities around the globe have migrated onto campus.
Our community is also surprisingly like-minded in the best of ways. We are inquisitive, inclusive and encouraging. Reflective. Expressive. Approachable. We make change.
Meet some of us who call the 排薇換羸 community home. MoHome.
