Book Description
Social support has been found to contribute to an overall positive adjustment for International students in U.S. colleges. This study addressed the relationship between International students' perceptions of university assistance in adjusting to campus life and their social adjustment levels. Questionnaires were divided into two sections: 1) university helpfulness in connecting with others - collegiate personnel and students - in the campus community and through the various campus events offered; and 2) assessing social adjustment through The Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ). The questionnaire was distributed to undergraduate students attending a private Midwestern university with 62 usable responses gathered from 31 American and 31 International students representing eight international countries. The university had 68 undergraduate International students and 45.4% participated in the current study. Statistical analyses revealed that Americans were more socially adjusted to university life when compared with International students (p.001). The data also disclosed that there was no relationship between level of adjustment to campus life and student perception of being respected by peers and faculty (p.05). However, International students with relatively lower social adjustment were observed as more likely to perceive campus activities as less useful than their more well-adjusted International peers, though no significance was found (p>.05). All the International students reported being treated well by faculty and students, yet improvements were suggested for social events to include opportunities for multicultural relations. Implications of this study suggest that well-developed campus events that connect International and American students could have a positive impact on social adjustment for International students.

Book Description
International students come to the United States with different cultural, social, and linguistic backgrounds. The disparity between the American culture and the foreign student s culture is large enough to cause serious adaptation problems. This book investigated the academic, personal, and social adjustment problems encountered by Chinese students attending different types of universities in the United States of America. Differences among students by campus were examined by age, length of stay, marital status, gender, financial situation, language proficiency, and academic achievement. The adjustment problems faced by Chinese students arel also encounted by international students from other countries. The identification and analysis of these adjustment problems will help international students alleviate their culture shock and shorten their adaptation process
