Say hello to Max Yong!
Max’s home country is Malaysia. He is studying Psychology at St. Cloud State University. In addition to his studies, Max is an International Peer Advisor Coordinator at the Center for International Studies.
Max’s favorite on-campus event was the snow-tubing trip organized by CIS for international students. Max enjoys watching the movie, The Kingsman, as he finds the scenes interesting. One piece of advice that Max would offer to international students is to get a portable heater for the cold Minnesota winters. Fun fact: Max also survived winter without winter shoes! (Not recommended.)
