This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, 700,000 students from around the world come to the United States and Canada to study. For many, the experience is as challenging as it is exciting. Far from home, they must adapt to a new culture, new university system, and in many cases, a new language. The process can be overwhelming, but as Charles Lipson’s Succeeding as an International Student in the United States and Canada assures us, it doesn’t have to be. Succeeding is designed to help students navigate the myriad issues they will encounter—from picking a program to landing a campus job. Based on Lipson’s work with international students as well as extensive interviews with faculty and advisers, Succeeding includes practical suggestions for learning English, participating in class, and meeting with instructors. In addition it explains the rules of academic honesty as they are understood in U.S. and Canadian universities. Life beyond the classroom is also covered, with handy sections on living on or off campus, obtaining a driver’s license, setting up a bank account, and more. The comprehensive glossary addresses both academic terms and phrases heard while shopping or visiting a doctor. There is even a chapter on the academic calendar and holidays in the United States and Canada. Coming to a new country to study should be an exciting venture, not a baffling ordeal. Now, with this trustworthy resource, international students have all the practical information they need to succeed, in and out of the classroom.

This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming to the United States for the first time, as an international student, can be quite exciting. Yet, the journey from the country of origin often has significant perils. They often range from the mundane: a missed flight, a plane that needs minor - or major - repairs, going to the wrong gate, needing an airport transit visa and not having one. They stretch into getting delayed at Passport Control to lost luggage, having no quarters to make a phone call to the student's pick-up person who is waiting at the Cell Phone lot outside, to major issues such as weather delays which can strand a student at the airport for days, or to the seemingly innocous decision to leave the country of origin on a Thursday, getting to the US on Friday after 5 p.m. and finding that the campus is closed. This is the first comprehensive guide that lists the step-by-step planning process - including those things that an international student often does not consider - as they make the perilous journey into the United States. The Guide walks a student from their home airport, through Passport Control, Customs and Border Protection entry procedures, ground transportation, private and public transportation, to the destination. It guides a student through the reporting and registration process, finding accommodation, getting integrated into the school and local community and finally, to returning to the country of origin. International Students coming to the United States - and going to many other countries - will find this guide quite helpful in assisting them plan for their difficult journey into the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International students are often taken for granted in higher education institutions in the United States. Many college and university administrators are unaware of the initiatives of other nations to attract international students and of the need to support these students. Higher education journals have not focused much attention on international students. International Students: Strengthening a Critical Resource argues that U.S. institutions of higher education must increase their awareness of international student issues. Andrade reviews related research and highlights creative solutions and programming for the successful support of international students. The book provides practical, hands-on, broadly applicable solutions to addressing international student issues. Additionally, it serves as a practical guide for identifying and adopting best practices for serving international students.

Download or read book American Ways written by Gary Althen and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Althen (former foreign student adviser, U. of Iowa) gives advice to foreign visitors to the U.S. that is intended to help them understand the motivations, attitudes, communication styles, and actions of Americans. Emphasizing the interpretation of observed behavior, he covers ways of reasoning and American ideas about politics, family life, education, religion, the media, social relationships, racial and ethnic diversity, male-female relationships, sports and recreation, driving, shopping, personal hygiene, and organizational and public behavior. Over-generalization is an understandable danger in such a work as this, but Althen does make an effort to emphasize that there are variations among Americans, while he concentrates on the similarities.
