Chinese students' assets when studying in the U.S.A.

Many conversations among U.S.A. higher education staff focus on the challenges of working with Chinese students.  By contrast, research on Chinese undergraduate student assets reveals that, while they may experience some obstacles in their early studies, they seek ways to cope and ultimately access a variety of strengths in order to succeed.  The adjustment to, and ability to thrive in, the American higher education system is largely about cultural context, language, and a desire to do well.
