Do not let this fool you. There could be the expectation that you will conduct more independent research, and students may simply be used to studying during the day. Likewise, do not be upset if you find that your grades are not what you are used to, either. Therefore, it is more common to receive Bs and Cs if you are being graded by foreign faculty. Finally, foreign libraries offer another adaptive challenge to U.S. students.
Library systems vary from country to country.
For example, in some countries, libraries are only open during daylight hours and closed in the evening. Some libraries may not allow books to leave the building. Likewise, computer and Internet access may not be as available or as widely used as they are in the United States. Learning to adjust to such differences is part of the study abroad experience. We would like to reiterate that you should learn as much as you can before you go.
