Many international college students spend a lot of time and effort on their college application, but they are ill prepared for what comes after the acceptance letter. American college life is very different - exams, homework, social networks, and general expectations are completely different. 

In recent years, there have been many instances where international students have arrived at their American college only to experience poor academic performance, an inability to make friends or engage in campus activities, and other cultural barriers during their first years. 

Such poor performance in Years 1-2 is impossible to recover from, and these students end up wasting their college opportunity and tuition. Therefore, it is very important and worthwhile for international students to prepare themselves for the differences of American college life.
