Dear Infoserve students:

Hope you are well and enjoying your study here at Infoserve! While the transfer/drop period ended last week, I believe you have already finalized your class schedules.

Please note: Starting Monday, September 29, 2008, students enrolled in the fall semester will be permitted into their classes only if they possess text books required for the course. Text books are also for sale in the office if you have not purchased yours.

Please kindly come speak to an administrative staff if you have any questions regarding your schedule, attendance records, or text books.

Thank you much for your cooperation!

Thanks,

The USA "Way of Life"

http://www.internationalstudent.com/study_usa/way-of-life/

Updated on Tuesday 03 June 2008

If you are planning to live, learn and grow in the United States, you already possess a well-known American characteristic—a sense of adventure! As an international student, you will experience many new and exciting things. In this section, we hope to prepare you for some of the adventures involved in living in the United States.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to discuss exactly what "Living in the U.S." means to everyone. American culture has been enriched by the values and belief systems of virtually every part of the world. From an international student's perspective, that diversity is very valuable. If you choose to live in a completely different environment, you may be challenged with new situations every day; but if you decide to live in a part of the U.S. that resembles your home country in some ways, you may find comfort in those similarities.

Learning more about yourself is perhaps the most important part of your decision to travel to the U.S. Once you know what you want to achieve, then you can identify the right place to study and live and grow in the States.
