International students in the U.S. have learned valuable lessons on how to thrive on a U.S. campus and in America.

If you’re planning to study in the U.S., you’ll need to know what it costs, what kind of college is right for you and how to get your visa. But you probably have much more specific questions nagging at you.

On June 18 at 13:00 UTC, join Education USA’s video webchat with international students who are excited to share details about their experiences studying in the U.S. They’ll discuss American culture, how to thrive academically and socially on a U.S. campus and how to turn your U.S. education into a successful career. They know just how you feel about getting answers to all the specific questions that are important to you.

From left to right, Patrick Wang, Lorena Cabrera, Ishaba Haque and Alejandro Radonski have come a long way during their years studying in the U.S. (D.A. Peterson/State Dept.)

After a few missteps, they’ve got it down now

16 June 2015

Mark Trainer“I didn’t know what winter in America felt like,” said Ishaba Haque, a senior at George Washington University in Washington, who is from Bangladesh. “The whole weather thing was a big deal, and I didn’t know how to prepare for it.” She laughs too at how she didn’t know about the American custom of tipping the waiter or waitress in restaurants. She learned quickly the first time she ate out at a U.S. eatery. She did not leave a tip, and as she left, she noticed several staff looking at her. “They just glared at me,” she said. (Tipping is customary for taxi drivers too.)

Lorena Cabrera, from the Dominican Republic and a recent graduate of American University in Washington, was surprised at the difference between her American professors and those at home. “The professors in America are more approachable, and they want you to approach them.”

Ask your questions of Haque and Cabrera, as well as Patrick Wang and Alejandro Radonski, both of whom attend American University. Take your first step, and log on!

STORYLINE

More than a million people have been forced from their homes and according to the United Nations, untold thousands have been massacred, tortured, and subjected to a modern form of slavery. Burma, says Amnesty International, is a prison behind bars. John Pilger and David Munro go undercover in one of the world's most isolated, and extraordinary countries, Burma, which Amnesty International calls 'a prison without bars'. They discover slave labour preparing for tourism and foreign investment.
