Clarissa's Roommate - Background Pt. 2: Roots (Patreon)

Where did she come from? Once we narrow it down regionally we can pick a country (unless it's Canada, then we're set). Where I've listed European countries is to give you an idea how I'm dividing Europe up, it's not an all inclusive list.

The top 10 countries for foreign student enrollment at UCB in Fall 2024 were China, India, South Korea, Canada, Taiwan, Indonesia, Japan, United Kingdom, France, and Germany. When I was there (been a while) I also encountered a lot of Aussies and Dutch people, and one of my roommates one year was dual Swedish-German. A lot of the Indians would stay on in the US and work in Silicon Valley, that's how my sister met my brother in law.

Clarissa had a pretty cosmopolitan upbringing with a lot of travel (her parents are also archaeologists) so she'll get along fine with anyone.
