The student pilot reported that, while rolling out on landing, the airplane suddenly veered to the right causing the nose to turn to the left.

The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the student pilot was landing the airplane on runway 34 with wind from 300° at 6 knots.
