Si j'avais su

I wish I had known more about the society (people) profile in the city. There were obstacles as an international person with the locals. I had experienced constant disagreements with the locals caused by my international status (!). Secondly, there was a huge power of student houses over the campus life and unfortunately , they were not nice enough to accept the internationals. The houses for other internationals were not satisfactory. So I wish I could communicate better my social background.

A mon avis:

J'ai aimé mais pas sûr que c'est pour tous

Recommandation personnelle

Even if this university is Student oriented with more than enough facilities and equipped with quite satisfactory staff; I would like them to concentrate more for the needs of international community. Being just there is not solving daily problems. And unfortunalety the problems I have faced, were not Daily problems to me. But overall, I can easily say them that, Thanks !

Please make a GOOD investigation about the people you are going to live with. Understand their culture and mentality. Stay low profile and DO NOT THINK THAT your values are applicable here aswell. It is not worth to accept everything that the locals demand for allowing you to their community houses. They are just houses created by bunch of stubborn individuals. Believe me they dont know what they are talking about.As friendship and protection; I had experienced a very much supportive attidute of African American community and Korean Association to overcome the obstacles cuased by the locals. And I am really grateful to them. Be an outdoor person. Use the facilities of the city (OZARK AREA). The city nature allows you to be more healthy and alive. Go to the rural areas and learn the myth. As a summary, go there have fun, learn and enjoy. Please note that " the color and the shape represent the uniqueness in life". Therefore, do not be afraid from the ones different than you. Be ALERT for the ones that are similiar to you.

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison

Pourquoi?

Usually, housing off campus is less expensive and more comfortable. I had my own room and bathroom which is impossible to have on campus. I had more privacy and liberty than my friends who lived on campus. Living with two American girls in an apartment was a great experience.

I think housing at Missouri State University is really expensive for what they offer. Depending on the houses, they don't provide a kitchen and oblige the students to have a meal plan. It is also quite old.

Dépenses habituelles

Springfield is not an expensive city at all. Housing is less expensive than most of the cities in the USA. Nightlife was perfect for the students in terms of prices and events. I had no difficulties for food as I was with American roommates who brought me to good stores. In Frahce, the food, housing, and nighlife is more expensive than in Missouri.

Commentaire personnel

It was my first trip to USA. So I faced the all language problems consequently. But after a while, things got smoother. I got used to the country and the languagae. Slangs were really challenging. Therefore, there can be seperate courses for internationals for voice similarity to the daily language. No one talks like they do on TV.

The only negative element of staying on campus is that you have to share one bedroom with two other students. This limits your privacy
