International Student Challenges? DA, CRH, MA

Hi CC,

I was wondering about some of the challenges that international students may face during their boarding school years. I was born and raised in the US, but I’ve lived in China for 9 or so years. What are some typical challenges that international students face and what does the community do to help them?

Thanks!

I’ve heard that the transition is actually pretty smooth. Typically international students arrive at school 1-2 days before the regular students in September so they have a bit more time to adjust and get to know one another.
