Students are encouraged to make the transition from high school to university in order to secure a…

around a college campus, you will see a large number of students looking at their smartphones. Usage of smartphone devices has risen year after year among students entering college with 83 percent reporting to regularly use a smartphone in 2014, up from 72 percent in 2013.

However, affirmative action has served as an exception because it allows universities to aid specifically minority students in need of educational opportunities compared to privileged students.

(Knight, 2004, p. 11). As more and more international students are arriving on our university campuses each year, US institutions face the challenge and opportunity in providing these students a great and successful experience.

These dreams create high expectations on universities to deliver. International students face four specific challenges,…
