International Student Experience Part 5: Academic Adjustment

Columbia Business School Orientation, January 2008

[@lisasoto3425]

Moved to the US from Puerto Rico recently, and while it's technically part of the US, I found the culture to be SO different. This series of videos really helped me understand a lot of things and helped me feel less like the odd one out. Thanks!

I'm an American studying abroad for a semester and this presentation helped me understand that what I'm going through (or what I was going through a few weeks ago, especially) is not abnormal and it doesn't mean I would never be able to survive living in a country that's not my own. Thanks!

Dan... great class!! I am a Mexican that lived over five years in the US, and what you said it's absolutely true!! Thank you..

I'm sharing this with KEAC (Kabul Educational Advising Center). It will be helpful for those who are entering American education.

Viewing these videos were a part of my Anthropology class. I really loved it and could relate with it. Thanks for sharing.

[@WisdomSeekingWriter]

EXCELLENT presentation! I found it to be very sympathetic and empathetic to those students facing the challenge of being a foreign student in ANY country. Great job!

Awesome! It is very helpful for encouraging my confidence.

Even us American students don't know some of the answers when the teacher calls on us. You're not alone, we all go through it. Here's a tip that I used when I didn't know the answer when the teacher called on me,. Just say "I don't know" and the teacher will call on someone else.
