Ronny Chieng International Student

As Ronny settles into university life, the quiet atmosphere at International House is obliterated by the arrival of Craig Cooper, a brash, bombastic American exchange student, who transforms the dorm into a 24-hour frat party.

It's a few days before the annual grudge football match between the Law Faculty and the Medical Faculty. After losing the last three years in a row, Law coach Professor Dale is desperate to win. When Dale stumbles upon Ronny, Elvin and Wei Jun playing Chapteh (a traditional Asian game that's a cross between soccer and badminton), he believes he may have found a secret goal kicking weapon.

Ronny offers to help Asher cover her shift at the campus co-op store. Todd, the co-op boss, tests Ronny's patience with pointless tasks and personal requests. Ronny can't tolerate taking instructions from an idiot like Todd. He eventually snaps and quits but learns Asher will lose her job too. To keep Asher's job, Ronny must do one final task for Todd that could put his student visa in jeopardy.

When Ronny loads an old adventure quest game onto Asher's ancient computer, he unleashes a virus which makes it impossible to retrieve Asher's latest assignment. With the work due in less than 24-hours, Ronny embarks on an epic quest to retrieve the lost data, confronting computer nerds, dealing with data recovery jerks and facing his deepest fear – that he might not be able to fix the computer.

When Ronny realises he has feelings for Asher, he does something he never thought he'd do – he auditions for the Law Faculty Comedy Revue to spend more time with her. But to his horror, the director of the show turns out to be Daniel Tremblay-Birchall and when Daniel starts showing too much interest in Asher, Ronny realises he has to tell her how he feels.

In the lead up to the end of semester law exam, Ronny borrows Wei Jun's perfectly written study notes. But when he accidentally loses the USB, the notes spread like wildfire throughout the class. With the threat of everyone doing well in the exam, Ronny goes to crazy lengths to stop the students from using the notes.

It's the first day of university and after coming from Malaysia to study in Australia, Ronny just wants to get good marks to keep his mum happy. But Ronny loses the textbook he needs for the first assignment and is forced to join a drinking game to get it back.
