<p>^@international95 You can say whatever you want to say but apparently you were not grew up in the culture, and you didn’t deal with undergraduate international students here in America. My spouse and I have seen thousands, helped dozens, and sent half a dozen home.</p>
<p>After they came here, the first classes are ELP. Some of them passed after a year, some took for 3 years and are still in ELP classes solely.</p>
<p>Regarding the immaturity, the problem is their parents never asked them to do anything; the parents expected their kids to just focus on study and nothing else - no house chores, no volunteer work, no summer jobs, no need to worry about anything…they are just princes and princesses. I even have one who was a graduate student when she was in town; she was 29 years old, single, very pretty, and with all her apartment decorations in Hello Kitty. This is not one occasion but very common.</p>
<p>If you pay attention, the majority of international students are from Asia because of the Asian parents’ focus on education. Other than top 20-30 university undergrads, other university Asian undergrads came here because they could never pass college entrance exam to go to college. They were mostly spoiled and don’t do anything. A huge portion of them play games more than 10 hours a day and don’t go anywhere include classes. </p>
<p>Note: I did say ‘mostly’ in the sentence you quoted and not saying ‘all’. </p>
