  6. Although the frequency of faculty-student interaction is similar among U.S. and international students, international students are significantly less likely to believe that faculty challenge their perspectives on a topic during class or that faculty present issues and problems in class from different cultural perspectives.

  8. First-Person Narrative I never thought I would be capable of doing anything like this.... the people I'm surrounded by kind of made me realize how people have so much potential. I have a feeling with this program I'll always need to actually develop my potential and see what I can actually do. It's just amazing.... Yes, I was surprised by myself and I don't think that I would be able to do any of what I do without certain professors that basically approached me or somehow let me know that I'm good and I shouldn't be scared and I should go for it. .... For me, the most influential person in my life from all these professors is Dr. [Professor].

  9. First-Person Narrative He thinks that if you're coming from Africa, maybe you don't ... he may thinks that there are no universities there so if you come directly for a Master’s you may be dumb. You cannot understand anything, so it's just undermining all your abilities, all your capacities to be an efficient a student as others.
