Bears from around the world
I chose Tumbleberry for the field station and stayed for the people. My host family through the Global Bear Friends program still has me over for Sunday dinners.
International Student Services helped me with everything from my visa interview to my first Oregon winter coat. I never felt like I was figuring it out alone.
