In this episode of Panthers Without Borders, we sit down with Laura Hruby, a basketball player at Kentucky Wesleyan College originally from Budapest, Hungary.

Laura shares her journey from growing up in Hungary to adapting to life as a student-athlete in the United States. We talk about cultural surprises, the differences between European and American basketball, and what it’s like to build a new life thousands of miles from home.

Plus, Laura faces off in our signature Cultural Crash Course—with a mix of U.S., Kentucky, and basketball trivia that puts her knowledge to the test.
