Chinese Students Perceptions Of Life In The U.S.

Abstract

Fifty-six students studying at a Chinese college in a southern province were surveyed for this study and asked to describe their experiences if they were to wake up one day to find themselves in the United States as U.S. citizens. A content analysis was performed for the final analysis of the raw data. Chinese students views on the U.S. varied but mainly focused on the positive aspects of life in America. This researcher therefore concluded that Chinese students surveyed through this study did not have realistic views of life in the U.S.

Additionally, mental health services should be advertised consistently and clearly across campus, and staff should be trained to identify and respond to the needs of international students (Ozturgut and Murphy, 2009 ). Furthermore, mental health professionals should be available for appointments during convenient hours, and services should be offered at multiple locations throughout the campus.…”
