M: (17)A recent survey said many foreign students report feeling lonely or unwelcome in America.
   Students from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships.But thirty-eight percent of the international students said they had no close friends in the Unites States.
       And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had.(18)Thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.
       The researcher said,”Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States.But then there are also language problems,and maybe some social skills.”
(19)   “The vast majority blames themselves,actually for not speaking the language well enough,not knowing the culture well enough. There were also some comments about the college environment,like many of them were in the natural sciences or worked in labs where they were surrounded by other East Asians.”
      Half of the international students and sixty percent of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.
      The researcher says students who make friends from their host country return home happier with their experience. “International students who make friends with host nationals are, overall, more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, they have better academic performance and they have better attitudes toward the host country.”
