Adapting to the American education system can be significantly different from the home country's system in terms of teaching methods, assessment methods, and academic expectations. For non-native English speakers, learning the language can be difficult. Many universities offer English support services. Making friends: Building a social network can be difficult, but essential for support and integration. Universities often have international student organizations, cultural clubs and social events to facilitate this. Loneliness and Homesickness: Being away from family and familiar surroundings can create feelings of isolation. Staying connected with family and friends at home is facilitated through technology. Tuition and living costs: International students often pay higher tuition fees and have to manage living costs, which can be significant depending on the location. Scholarships and Financial Aid: Scholarships, grants, and assistantships are available to help cover costs, but these opportunities can be competitive. Work Regulations: International students on F-1 visas are generally permitted to work on campus up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time during breaks. Off-campus work requires special permission. University Support Services: International Student Offices: providing special orientations, workshops and resources for international students.
