Promoting student cultureStudent cultures in universities are becoming extremely diverse. Students are discovering what they like and don't like in 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 first-time freshmen, as well as upper-class men. When Nathan interviewed several international students, they said that the way we talk to people is extremely different from that of 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 that requires correction (Rebekah Nathan).” Most Americans are ignorant of other cultures, and My Freshman Year international students confess our ignorance. At universities, most international students admit that they received no help from their former professors. “The American students answered and asked questions, even offered opinions, but the foreigners – half the class, most from China – remained silent.” (New York Times) This information is absolutely accurate in my opinion, because if I were a foreigner I would keep my mouth shut for fear of appearing ignorant. College students hang out with their peers out of fear of being rejected by others. Students don't want to go into unknown territory. They want to feel comfortable when talking or eating. People like to feel and stay in their comfort zone. Being in a new place is scary, and by staying with a group of people who share similar interests and cultures, almost everyone finds themselves in a realm of comfort. Every student struggles differently in college.
