Ask Ajay Chahar '12 where he is from, and he'll say, "Colgate."

That's partly because he is so excited about being a first-year student, and partly because he's lived in so many cities in his native India that he doesn't know which to call home. His father is an army colonel, and Chahar moved with him from post to post.

While he has traveled throughout India, learning five languages from Bengali to Punjabi in the process, he never had the opportunity to travel beyond the region.
