- Michigan State University pre-medical junior Andy Kim talks about his childhood in Korea, immigrating to the U.S. at age 16, and settling in Battle Creek, Michigan.

He discuses the challenges of adapting to a different culture and to life at MSU and says that he feels caught between Korea and the United States.
