Not at the moment, as they've all graduated and moved on to other places, but when I lived in the dorms on an all-girls wing, one of my floormates was a Muslim. Our wing had a tradition of going to eat dinner together every night, so for Ramadan, we pushed our dinners back just for her (not a hardship in the slightest, really). It was quite an educational experience! The other Muslims in the dormitory often joined us at our group of tables for dinner during that month.
There are a number of Muslims in our community, so observance of Ramadan isn't unheard of. Seeing women in hijab isn't uncommon either. We even have a mosque here in our town of 50,000.
Happy Ramadan to everyone.
