Описание
International students come to the United States with different cultural, social, and linguistic backgrounds. The disparity between the American culture and the foreign student’s culture is large enough to cause serious adaptation problems. This book investigated the academic, personal, and social adjustment problems encountered by Chinese students attending different types of universities in the United States of America. Differences among students by campus were examined by age, length of stay, marital status, gender, financial situation, language proficiency, and academic achievement. The adjustment problems faced by Chinese students arel also encounted by international students from other countries. The identification and analysis of these adjustment problems will help international students alleviate their culture shock and shorten their adaptation process
