You will write a 7-10 pages (double space not including the title page and reference page) research paper about International Students’ Experience in U.S. higher education. To begin the research, you need to pick a specific demographic group of international students that you want to study (e.g. Chinese, Arabs, Mexican, German, Turkish, Nigerian, etc.). All the information that you presented in your research paper must refer to the demographic group that you have chosen. You need to include at least six scholarly or peer-reviewed journals to support your work.

Your paper should include the following content:

• Background of the international students using the Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions
• Challenges that international students experience living in the U.S.at
• International students’ cultures and interaction with the American students
• Values and benefits international students bring to the U.S. campus
• International students’ communication styles (verbal and nonverbal) and how different are their communication styles compared to American students
• Common stereotypes, prejudice, and/or racism that international students experience
• International students’ acculturation process
• International students’ identities (social and cultural)
• Influence of mass media on the international students
