Equal Opportunities for International Students

In our project, we examined the views of international students on whether they feel they are presented with equal opportunities of success as usually perceived about the United States. We interviewed international students from various countries, organized our results, and determined patterns based on their responses. Over the course of our research, we employed our sociological imaginations, the conflict paradigm, cultural relativism, and symbolic interactionism in order to draw conclusions. These results showed that the international students felt like they had a better opportunity coming to study in the United States than they would in their respective countries and that these students did not feel at a disadvantage compared to American students.
