为了比较国内和国际学生在适应大学生活方面所面临的挑战，我们对中西部一所大型公立大学的一年级本科工程专业学生进行了一项混合方法研究。我们对所有一年级的工科学生进行了一次调查。我们对国内和国际一年级学生进行了单独的焦点小组。虽然国内和国际学生发现了类似的适应问题，但国际学生在结交美国朋友，理解文化参考，适应美国食物以及熟悉不熟悉的教学方法和作业方面遇到了更多困难。
To compare the challenges that domestic and international students experience in adjusting to college, we conducted a mixed-methods study of first-year undergraduate engineering students at a large public university in the Midwest. We administered a survey to all first-year engineering students. We conducted separate focus groups of domestic and international first-year students. While the domestic and international students identified similar adjustment issues, international students had more difficulty with making American friends, understanding cultural references, adapting to American food, and becoming acquainted with unfamiliar teaching methods and assignments.
