But her claim is not valid due to the excessive pathos usage; the fact that she draws the conclusion from only interviewing the international students. Moreover, her book is not sufficient, because of not having both side opinions from international students and American students.   Work Cited Nathan, Rebekah.   My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student.

In the article, “Colleges Adapt to New Kinds of Students from Abroad,” Karin Fischer (2011) explains the increase of foreign students in U.S. universities leads to make more problems in campus and how universities are trying to overcome those problems and help foreign students to adapt to campus. Fischer explains the increase of the foreign undergraduate students due to the support from foreign governments. Fischer quotes Wesley Young, the director of services for international students and scholars at the University of California at Davis, to discuss that the increase of foreign undergraduate students especially requires more care and help than graduate students. While older students know what they need to do and what to do in U.S. university,

My project is about the Crossroads Community Center. Crossroads is an organization focused on campus diversity. Crossroads originate many successful activities to engage on-campus diversity. Such as African American History Month, Latino Heritage Month and Sustained Dialogue. But the issue of Crossroads now is that there are less international students paying attention to. Therefore, this project is to assist Crossroads find a better solution to attract more international students. As an international student, I know the life situation of international students. Without family and close friends support, international students study abroad because they eager to know different cultures. However, not all international students achieve their goal

Some of these benefits include: promoting the understanding of different cultures, allowing students to be part of an environment where ethnic, racial, and geographic stereotypes are broken down, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for students of all races where they don’t feel like spokespersons for their race. Student diversity in a public University allows students to experience other cultures, and to be exposed to a variety of different viewpoints and ideas. By interacting with individuals of all backgrounds, students would be better prepared to face the obstacles that arise with the diverse workforce. In educating the leaders of America, UT believes providing a diverse learning environment is beneficial for nonminority and minority students. UT believes that a critical mass of students from under-represented racial groups is necessary to promote these educational benefits. Lastly, part of UT’s educational mission is to provide exceptional educational opportunities along with contributing to the advancement of society. UT states that the educational benefits that come from student diversity have a huge impact on the educational mission it’s seeking to accomplish. In order to keep its educational promise to current and future students UT states it needs a diverse student

The international students enroll in advanced research programs that highlight their contributions to the host country.

It must not also be motivating for foreigner students when Americans can not relate, rarely showing interest in adventuring themselves in the road of language discovery. But not all Americas are like that. According to the US Census 2000 brief, 18% of the total US population 5 years old or over spoke a second language at home (Shin, 2003). These 18%, for instance, comprise a group of Americans that mostly come from families that just recently immigrated to the United States, and tend to be more sympathetic towards multiculturalism. College students who grew up in families like this are more likely to develop a broader world awareness, creating a diversion in the perception that all American students are oblivious to other cultures and

One of the many benefits to higher education include cultural experiences. This is learned by interacting with students from other nations. International students are more readily available in the college atmosphere.

While many foreign students come to the United States for the benefits given to them by their country, coming to the U.S. has opened more than just economic doors for them because the new generation of foreign students are more open and available to facilitate discussions on controversial issues in their countries. It has also taught them American values such as responsibility and dependence, and has provided them with much better school systems.

Moreover, the survey suggests that the reason why international students stay together is because they have different cultural values from Americans. In her blog “The Truth: Americans Reveal What They Really Think of International Students,” Jessica Stahl, who works for Voice of America, reports from an American student's answer that “There's always a group of two or more in my classes and they rarely try to talk to us...” Christine from Texas A&M University answers “I sometimes do not share the same values or norms as international students do, nor the same culture.” This reveals one important point, which is that because of not sharing the same values and culture, it is very hard for international and American students to bridge the communication gap between them. Furthermore, it is not only Americans that think so, but also international students. One international student answers in the blog that “Most of the international students in my social environment are from Asian countries and thus they are brought up in a similar culture to me and I find it easier to communicate with them not because we have similar ideas but we are used to live our lives in a more similar way compared to Americans.” (“The Truth: Americans”). Thus,

The economic contributions of international students is one of the most obvious reasons that countries like the U.S. are very willing to admit international students to their colleges. Take the international students in the U.S. as an example. NAFSA conducts an annual state-by-state and congressional district analysis of the economic contributions of international students and their families to the U.S. economy. International students and their families created or supported 340,000 jobs and contributed $26.8 billion to the U.S. economy during the 2013-2014 academic year, according to NAFSA’s latest economic analysis. For every 7 international students enrolled, 3 U.S. jobs are created or supported by spending occurring in the following sectors:

“In 2006 to 2007, according to the data compiled by the Institute of International Education, 582,984 students from all over the world were enrolled in American colleges and universities in a wide range of fields” (Carter, Paragraph 2, 2008). The United States has the highest number of students who are coming to study abroad than any other countries. Each year, the number of international students coming to the United States to obtain degrees is increasing by thousands, and home countries of these students are primarily India, China and Korea, all located in the whole different continent. But what are the motives of students who are crossing the sea to study? Their goal of studying abroad is to experience diversity and to adapt attitudes

A quantitative survey consisting of eight main sections and demographic information was given to international students at a Western United States land grant university. The survey’s eight sections assessed students’ level of agreement in the eight following categories: personal life, cultural concerns, academics, university programs, health care, safety, and the International Students and Scholars Office (ISS). The questions were evaluated on a standard 5-point Likert type scale. In addition, open-ended responses were elicited for country of origin and religious beliefs to ensure possibly answers were not omitted by the research team. Questions were divided into the eight categories to make the survey process easier for respondents while also preserving internal validity of the questionnaire. The survey was sent via email through the ISS office to the entire international student population of 862 students. 63 students responded to the survey, giving a response rate of 6.54%. This was significantly lower than the researcher’s target of 25%, but the response rate was typical for this student population (Porter & Whitcomb, 2007).

First of all, studying abroad which means people can contact with different culture that can rich student’s experience. Staying at another cultures and different academic background provide an opportunity for international students, which can develop their independent learning and influence on students’ intercultural adaptation(Qing, Michele and Christopher, 2010). For most international students, “Going to university is a further step on a journey of self-discovery in which they are
