Abstract

. . . it did hurt to feel so alone where not a soul seemed to care if you lived or died. That came as a shock to a young new college graduate . . . . The students in the university in my town were not friendly, but I know they were in other universities. Perhaps we at our university were exceptions, but all six of us were not entirely happy until we realized no one was going to care very much about us. As a result we stuck together and spoke English. , . Another American student who had recently returned to the United States described her readjustment problems as follows: I just can’t seem to get adjusted back here. I just can’t seem to settle down to work. I don’t know what it is, but once you’ve lived abroad I guess you can’t really come back . . . at least not if you’re an artist. . . . Of course, I suppose eventually I’ll be able to work this all out. . . . I’d like to keep on doing some creative work here, but it’s very hard for artists to get by in
