Friends

I have made some genuine friends here and feel that I already have a famiy around me. All of my friends are either permanent residents or international...people keep saying "oh there are a bunch of NAU students here..do you know so and so?" To be honest I didn't come here to hang out with NAU students... I am perfectly happy with going out on a limb and meeting different people...what I keep hearing is "you are so lucky English is you native language"...yes that may be true for the school setting...but I feel like I am missing out by not being fluent in at least two languages like my friends are.
