Abstract

Problem Statement: International students studying in American institutions of higher education face some difficulties largely because of the differences between American culture and their home cultures. One way of better understanding the reasons of cultural difficulties could be to investigate international students‟ perceptions related to American culture. Having more knowledge about how international students see American way of living could provide researchers and school administrators some guidance for designing more effective multi-cultural communication environments

Keywords

• Cultural awareness, cultural conflicts, cultural perceptions, international students
