Christina MojicaThird-year, sociology
“They force the community to think about the way they communicate, because international students communicate differently than Americans. It makes us think about what we do and say.”
Sharon VelasquezFourth-year, English
“They bring in extra revenue for the university. Culturally, it depends on how they involve themselves on campus, in student organizations.”
Isaura FigueroaFourth-year, sociology
“They bring cultural awareness to our campus. I don’t talk to a lot of international students, but I think they’re important because they bring in a lot of money for the school. That’s important, especially right now.”
Kale FeeterThird-year, microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics
“I think they bring a lot of diversity to campus, which is great, to see other cultures. But at the same time, if you’re doing group projects it can be difficult to overcome the language barrier.”
