HOW CHINESE STUDENTS EXPERIENCE THEIR LIFE IN U.S
Abstract
This essay is focusing on the difficulties that Chinese students met during the process of studying in U.S. I got three main sources, first is a autobiography, second is an academic dissertation written by two professors from UC Berkeley, the third is an interview I made with a graduate student who just received her bachelor degree from University of Minnesota Twin Cities. I also compared their experiences or points of views with mine own. I will also explain my difficulties as an international freshman and also, how I will use the resources UCSB provides me, how I can achieve my academic goals in UCSB and future plans.
As one of the strongest countries in the world, U.S.A is by no means homogeneous, and the most outstanding ethnic among these diverse races should definitely be Chinese. Started from 1850s, when a lot of Chinese labors arrived America to help build the transportation as well as the gold fields, there have been more and more Chinese immigrants come to America, trying to find more opportunities there. Besides those Chinese who try to find a better life in America, there is a group of special people, who eagerly want to get knowledge and complete their personalities by studying in America, the Chinese students. California, the state which shares the biggest American population, has the most Chinese, too. It is not hard to find the sources that I can use. I found two resources by searching in UCSB library database, and they are really useful for us to understand both Chinese immigrants and students. I also made an interview with a graduate student in University of Minnesota Twin Cities who came from Shanghai and finished her bachelor degree
