Voices from around the World: International Undergraduate Student Experiences
Terkla, Dawn Geronimo; Roscoe, Heather S.; Etish-Andrews, Jane
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Annual Forum of the Association for Institutional Research (AIR) (45th, San Diego, CA, May 29-Jun 1, 2005)
This paper explores how students adjust to life at universities outside their home countries. Much of the current body of research was conducted prior to the 9/11 tragedy and focuses primarily on studies within a single U.S. institution. This project expands the boundaries by including multiple institutions from around the globe post-9/11. The authors describe international undergraduates' educational experiences. Further analyses examine whether differences exist among the following: (1) students attending U.S. or non-U.S. institutions, (2) those who hail from different regions of the world, (3) native or non-native speakers, (4) the sexes, (5) students who lived in the host country prior to enrolling or those who did not, and (6) those living on- or off-campus. An appendix contains: Number of Respondents by Country/Region of the World. (Contains 14 tables.)
