"The spare time here is not boring, and it is great to have a cup of coffee after having a football game with commanders from other countries," he said.

Every term, freshmen come to Deng for help, having been recommended by former students who passed on her phone number to them.

"Foreign students have language difficulties in a strange country, and it is my responsibility to try my best to make them feel at home," Deng said.
