Unlearn Week: Lucky to Be Here?

Lucky to Be Here? The Good and Bad of International Students Experiences
in America by Brent Wilkinson*

Every international student in America has heard some form of the phrase,
Youre lucky to be here. Some hear it from Americans. Others hear it from
friends or family back home. And while the enduring global popularity of
American education affirms its value, students can run into countless pitfalls
along the way. Join us to hear a panel of international students share about
their time, both good and bad, in the U.S., with a focus on the laws that
affect everyday life for international students.
