The Effects of Studying Away from Home in the Academic Performance of Political Science Students of Wmsu

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,

The need for higher education has prompted many students to seek further studies in international colleges outside their countries and Australia has become an academic hub for international students who mostly come from developing nations in Asia and Africa. The students, once they secure a place in this schools, they are subjected to a new environment which comes with different challenges. International students in Australia have become an integral part of the society both social and economical. However the students face a myriad of challenges before fully adopting to the new learning culture. In

Studying abroad is important to me for a multitude of reasons. The most pressing of which is,

“The importance of foreign students’ cultural, political and economic contribution has gained a fresh focus in the light of a recent travel ban on citizens from the Middle East and African countries.” – Humar

Studying in Iraq and studying in Australia are different in many ways but have some notable similarities. In terms of the differences, studying in Australia is much more expensive than studying in Iraq since the former is more developed than Iraq and therefore it required more hard works for students to have the ability for paying excess fees for studying in Australia. Moreover, students in Iraq may not be able to study as much as they can in Australia because of the psychological problems related to the hard political situations in Iraq. Another important difference in studying in these two different countries is the teacher’s attitude. In Iraq teachers are likely to be very strict with students; therefore, many times students do not prefer

As the widespread population of teenage international student body growth, many more promising and upstanding students came to America to develop their better selves. When the first year they come, the very different environment would be a challenge for this young generation of student who just left the protection of their parents and familiar teachers and friends. The adjustment of academic will be a fundamentally challenging for them in many different aspects.

Every year there are around 435,000 international students enrolled in universities around the UK (UKCISA). Studying abroad for a lot of these students is a privilege, however it can be a stressful experience for various reasons. There are plenty of challenges, other than language barrier, that these students face, like major culture shock, homesickness, and financial difficulties.

1.) By the end of my study away semester, I hope to have learned an international perspective on American Foreign Policy, a greater understanding of the formation of Australia, and how conflict has shaped it, and finally a greater understanding of the cultural differences that define the Australian peoples. I hope to attend IFSA Butler’s University of Sydney program. The program is modeled after the Oxford style and will give me the chance to experience it without taking a high-pressure Oxford-style tutorial at my current school Williams. The program also offers over 4,000 courses on a multitude of topics within my majors that Williams does not cover. For instance, we currently have no courses on the Pre-World War 1 Era, in particular, the impact this era had the British colonies, European foreign policy, and imperialism. In regards to my personal life, I accept my study away experience as

News and politics will always be fresh and constant in my mind, and unable to be avoided. The environment will force me to view the world as it is, free of censorship. This atmosphere will teach me of reality, maturing me into a person who sees the problems that plague society. In high school, I have a lesser idea of the issues that engulf our nation. It is only through the Internet or through the small channels of news and TV networks that I am able to comprehend our country fully. However, Georgetown offers me a foray into reality, shaping me into an individual who is able to recognize the areas of our system that need adjustment. Affecting systemic change is nothing without the ability to discern what is wrong, and what needs to be fixed. These problems that we face are complex, and the word “fixed” must seem too simple. However, I believe that with the opportunities that Georgetown provides, I will become a person who can just

Fast forward 10 years, and I see myself sitting around a table with people from nay countries and endeavoring to reach a resolution. Although this career in international is important, I hope to balance my life between my career and other meaningful life experiences like developing deep companionships, travel, culture and giving back to the community. Because preparing for a meaningful life will result in preparing for a more focused and successful career. I enjoy being able to challenge new circumstances and therefore, it is my hope that my undergraduate education will offer me the opportunity to enhance my academic knowledge and qualifications and a variety of experiences both with the confines of the university and outside of the university.

Education is a never-ending learning process that has always been a piece of our life. As education is a building block in our lives, we are eager to put profoundly into our education. Good education will lead us to the bright future. With the fast advancement of public opinion, we have entered an era of information explosion which the necessity of studying abroad has turned into a developing pattern among youth. Most of the students feel that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. As the saying goes, “the grass always looks greener on the other side of fence.” In this way, I believe that considering abroad have extraordinary points of benefits.

Adam Berzinsky and Gabriel Lenz tried to study education as a cause for political participation in their article “Education and Political Participation: Exploring the Causal Link”. They compared levels of political participation among men who avoided

“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

International students face many different challenges when studying abroad. This is due to many factors. First, they are living in a country very far away from their own. The country they are studying at has a very different way of life than theirs. Further more, the laws in that country are much different than the laws in their own country. Due to that they face a lot of problems trying to adapt to this new culture. Me personally as an international student in the US studying at ASU, have faced three particularly difficult challenges that I was able to overcome through time. In this essay I will explain how international students can overcome tough challenges and situations.

Looking at the trend recently, most of the students feel that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. As a saying goes, the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. However, the students have their own choices either studying in universities abroad or in local universities. They have own reason to stud locally or abroad. Both of universities, abroad or local have their own uniqueness. So, we cannot ignore the fact that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities but to study in local also has advantages. In
