This chapter entitled "as others see us" was a very interesting chapter to me. In this chapter the reader grasps a bigger perspective of the minority students. This referring to the international students and also can be defined as non-white students. As the author ventured into the culture aspects of the international students, she as well as the reader learned how difficult adapting to college is for the college students. it seems clear that many international students find it difficult learning the culture norms in an americaqn society. an example of this is clear when the author interviews a couple of students and they sauid that they werent even sure on the things to bring to ciollege and what to go shopping for. Another example of this is how international students view words took into content. Its weird to them how people say words that might mean in their culture a conversation is being engaged,such as how are you but then continue about their business. Also how people say they should hang out but then necver exchange numbers or follow up on their plans. This to me developes the futher assumptuion that americans are more private with their business while international people are more open and friendly.
