...students of many backgrounds to find a decent restaurant or grocery store which meets their needs. But some international students don’t have this luxury. Often, it’s more than a matter of just finding a good cook of your homeland’s cuisine??some of the ingredients are impossible to find in Massachusetts. When Sengeh craves traditional Sierra Leonean food, he gets resourceful. “I have an aunt in Houston who sends me food sometimes,” Sengeh says. “So it’s bearable...
