Elements from each culture are incorporated into the life experience, but the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of similar experience. See the College page for other decision making issues. Understand that these are generalizations and there may be exceptions in certain areas like job placement.

For Christians, you may want to consider the opportunities available to join in a church and campus Christian groups. It's always more fun if there are TCKs or International Students around when you want to do something. Target a specific job. Do research on the company or organization. Include which international school you graduated from, even if the resume gets long, if you want to be noticed for an overseas position.
