About the Students

Zhinian Zhao, a silent geography student at Syracuse University. Inveterate hipster. Notorious punster. Occasionally sentimental. Rumored to be a serious, silent dude with cute bums. A master of staying up all night. A rising star of carrying bricks.


I'm Xueyu Zhang. I'm a Chinese student major in CS, and this year is the first year of my undergraduate in SU.


Hello, my name's Ethan Gu. I'm from China, and it's my first year in the States. I'm in Architecture School in Syracuse University, and I can tell it's a really nice architecture school! In the last two months since I came here, I keep saying to myself to explore more. I noticed many differences between Chinese and American culture, and some of them are really interesting to me~ I accommodated with some of them, and some I still need to learn~


Hi, my name is Gabriela Alves, and my major is Bioengineering. I am studying at SU for one year in an exchange program called Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (BSMP) or Science Without Borders, how we call in Brazil. I loved Syracuse, with the exception of this crazy weather, and all the places I visited so far (NYC and Boston). I really like to travel so I am intending to do an internship on the other side of the country to explore that area visiting some new cities.
