There are some problems for international students and immigrants studying in the United States. Making friends is a challenge. Many colleges and universities offer a variety of student clubs and organizations where both foreign-born and native American students have a greater chance of meeting people with shared interests. Information about these out-of-class activities is often posted in the student center and listed in the student newspaper.
    If people feel separate from the social aspects of American college life, they should actively seek people with shared interests. It is unlikely that students will make friends just by passing people on the campus.
    Foreign or immigrant students may feel confused during the first few weeks at a new school. The reason is that they do not understand the system and are not willing to ask questions.  Many students do not take advantage of the numerous services offered on campus. These services can assist students in developing new skills and social groups. Some colleges offer students tutorial support in such subjects as writing, language study, computer skills and other basic subjects.
