Academic culture varies by country and classroom. The educational system in the U.S. may be very different from the one you grew up in. In this Cultural Conversation, we’ll explore the role of culture in the classroom and consider how that impacts instructor (and student) expectations. Plus, we’ll go over some tips to help you achieve academic success here at SJSU.

Cultural Conversations are part of the Beyond Global Spartan Welcome program, which helps new international students transition to life at SJSU and the US.
