Cultural Adaptation to a University Campus:The Case of Latino Students
Abstract
Latino university students' responses to two surveys revealed three types: one recalls valuable family lessons, relates them to university experiences, and envisions how these experiences will have long-range benefits; the second is lonely, confused, and insecure; the third values cultural origins, but feels anxious and self-conscious. These types reflect the emergence of a bicultural identity and the importance of Latino student-support offices.
