When considering the experience of international students at U of M I think that their experience might actually be a little bit easier because they have a longer time to get acclimated in a much smaller city. We have such a short time yo get used to a new country, new campus, curriculum, and make new friends despite a language barrier. I certainly do empathize with them however because its not easy in any amount of time. I hope that International students find it easier than we did to mane those adjustments.
