The promotion of student cultureStudent cultures in universities are becoming extremely diverse. Students discover their likes and dislikes at college, so they tend to explore and learn about different cultures when they make friends. New friends bring a whole new world to the feet of new freshmen, as well as upperclassmen. When Nathan interviewed several international students, they said that the way we talk to people is extremely different than in their country. “For the international students I interviewed, American college culture is a world of commitment, choice, individualism, and independence, but it is also a world of cross-cultural ignorance and self-delusion who calls for remediation (Rebekah Nathan). » Most Americans are ignorant of other cultures, and the international students in My Freshman Year confess our ignorance. At universities, most international students admit to not receiving any help from their former professors. “The American students responded and asked questions, even gave their opinions, but the foreigners – half the class, most from China – remained silent.” (New York Times) This information is completely accurate in my opinion, because if I were a foreigner, I would keep silent for fear of appearing ignorant. Students will hang out with their own people for fear of being rejected by others. . Students don't want to go into uncharted territory. They want to feel comfortable when talking or eating. People like to feel and stay in their own comfort zone. Being in a new place is scary, and by staying with a group of people with similar interests and cultures, almost everyone finds themselves in a realm of comfort. Every student struggles differently in college. “For example......middle of article......mpus-life-culture-shock/reverse-culture-shock/"Challenges Faced by Freshmen" StudyMode.com. 04 2011. 2011. 04 2011 http://www.studymode.com/essays/Challenges-Faced-By-First-Year-Students-653674.html Nathan, Rebekah.
