I can so agree with your points! Uncertainty is a huge factor as an international student. I’ve never realized I thought a lot about how I make things work. Thank you for sharing!

[@clintonmulah9850]

Hi Augustus I'm a new subscriber to your Channel right from Cameroon, and have watched all videos.You're really doing good.This is definetely helping me and a lot of people.Thanks. You're absolutely right about the challenges, we will come well prepared.💪

[@AdelekeAugustus]

Thanks for subbing! Yes! Having the right information and coming prepared is everything! Thank you for watching.

[@d_c.e.o1]

like seriously

[@lckcyy]

idk i’m from Hong Kong n ur accent is absolutely clear to hear, the speed as well for me. i’m also conscious bout my pronunciations if i move there soon, i’m scared abt the racism…

[@AdelekeAugustus]

Dont worry about racism, you will be fine.

[@ujusmedia6196]

Interesting video! You said it all, made valid points, especially "90% of you time is invested in thinking of how to make it work."

[@AdelekeAugustus]

Exactly! Thank you for watching!

[@malikaawallace]

I have 0 issues understanding you at all. Great English, amazing attitude you have my friend! Internationals understand each other easier I think.

[@AdelekeAugustus]

Thank you! 😃

[@ngalahansel6066]

The whole accent thing is so true and we all have accents in varying degrees. The Nigerian and South African ones are just so strong and unmistakable lol. I studied in Cape Town and was just 1 of 3 black students un a predominantly white class. The one Nigerian girl among us had a very strong Nigerian accent and often felt uncomfortable asking questions because no one ever understood her unfortunately. Sometimes I as a Cameroonian would have to help explain what she was saying. It was really unfortunate how culture can affect one's academic progress 😊

[@ChikasDiasporaDiaries]

The part about sitting beside someone in class for 5 semesters without being friends with them is soo true..lol. You can even have a 30 min conversation with some students here and the next day, they will pass you by like you are a random stranger.

[@AdelekeAugustus]

Yes! hahaha Took a while to get used to. Now I don't stress about it anymore.

[@saralinakui]

As an introvert, I would happily survive there!

[@ChikasDiasporaDiaries]

@@saralinakui Lol! I am too but at some point it's just like 'Can you not just pretend like you don't know me?!!' lol

[@kambua4127]

Yes ,that's so true and it's funny how some Africans now are copying there culture i mean if we share same class I don't get why you would give me a strange look when we meet along corridors the next semster especially my fellow African.

[@XRTSDFA]

People are very fake towards blacks; I noticed that people avoid bw not wanting to mingle or seen with them. I have seen a lot of black international students lonely without anyone. I was an international student as well and had a lot of mean people in my way. However, I kinda learned to stand up and become a strong person. I’m glad that i left the US though. Mentally US is very draining

[@micheldongmo8155]

Glad to watch this other insightful vid. Thanks Sir!

[@thecreators4245]

Thank you 🙏

[@israelstarryshines4288]

If I have the opportunity to come back to this life the second time or choose, I will not go to Nigerian poor family because people almost kill me me calling and disturbing me for money because I’m abroad and the reality is people back home in Nigeria are far far better than us that are struggling here inside cold and unfriendly weather here abroad. Honestly it’s dépressive.

[@AdelekeAugustus]

I feel that. Key thing is to always remember that nobody from home can help you financially, so always put your need first, and if you have enough you can send to them. You're a student, struggling to survive in a country where you have no relative! Don't let any family member guilt-trip you into doing more than you can handle.

[@markfolarin8690]

Come home Na .😂

[@dentfortune7271]

I came in college and I got As all the way. People were not happy! Some tried telling that me the subject would be too difficult and I’d regret continuing . Some so surprised how a foreigner could get As.

[@jamesbedukodjograham5508]

Some Americans actually think that they are always better than all the foreigners In their nation out there.

[@bitachocho]

Thanks for the video!

[@Yukymix1]

Thanks for sharing friend 🙋🏼‍♀️👍

[@praisegodrobinson1192]

I enjoyed your video ... where are you doing your graduate program ... I'm seriously working on that, I mean, to get assistantship scholarship.

[@jenipherdiaries]

Thank you for this, Augustus 🙏🏾. It's so helpful 😊

[@oluwatoyosietal3616]

Same in china 😂😂 because we sit beside each other does not make us friends 😂😂😂

[@AdelekeAugustus]

It's so strange, how our culture in Africa differs. I love that about us.

[@paulkiarie6538]

What does that mean, explain

[@emmyhabey]

It's quite easy to make friends with Chinese than with Americans imo. Just nail the basic Chinese and you're good. Lots of Chinese will invite you out to dinner or drink, even with your broken Chinese

[@kamenikeren9380]

Thank youuuu ☺️

[@osinachichelsea]

Interesting ❤

[@AdelekeAugustus]

Glad you think so!

[@maryisang9322]

Mehnnn thought it was just me. People here like doing "things on their own"

[@ifeoluwatunde73]

Fact!!! You become automatically rich and become that person who should shoulder peoples bill immediately you travel out of Nigeria

[@davidaina6120]

Thank you for this video sir. Can a programmer (a web developer) work in the US? As a student

[@AdelekeAugustus]

I think you would need employment authorization to work for a company. I don't know how freelancing works though.

[@jamesbedugraham8056]

@@AdelekeAugustus America is great the biggest problem is the cultural shock and legal paper work in order to work legally in most Companies and sectors. If you are a foreigner America demands SSN and authorisation from the US Govt or a work permit as established under US Law.

[@adonisopoku4642]

Hello you are amazing I want to know what you think is the best,coming this fall 2020 or spring 2021 during this travel ban issue. Thank you.

[@AdelekeAugustus]

F1 visa is not affected by the travel ban. The issue most students are having is that the embassy is closed so they cant go for visa interview. But if you can appear for your interview, i'd say you should do it.

[@lckcyy]

idek wat to do like i’m gonna start college next year in the states so i’m basically movin there too on my own. same as u i’m also the kind of person who could literally be on my own forever. but i would still wanna make some frds from different places to hv a more vibrant college life. for example, how could i just walk to strangers n say hey my name is nat, n then wat am i gonna say next? also the fact that i’m chinese makes me even more self conscious, especially when talkin to americans, i’ll just keep thinkin sth like ‘would they not wanna talk w me cuz my ethnicity’ theres just this vicious cycle of thots goin on…

[@AdelekeAugustus]

There is a huge Asian community in America, so I am sure you will do fine. Once you find your community, you will gradually make American friends along the line. Most Americans are nice.

[@jamesbedukodjograham5508]
