Did you know? Fun and Games

“AACC has a really nice atmosphere, academically and personally,” Boland said. “Everyone has been welcoming. I’ve felt pretty good being here. AACC is very capable of catering [to] every student’s needs in terms of classes and class times. It’s a very good spectrum.”

Despite the accommodations, the international students said the campus still has work to do to ensure the comfort and success of students.

Kanté and Libom said they would like to see a support group on campus for international students, a refuge where they could share their experiences with those who have had similar ones. That might help them make more friends at their new school and country, they said.

“We could share our experiences and, you know, just talk about it,” Kanté said. “And have other people around you that understand you and maybe have experienced it, too.”

Boland said it would also be beneficial for the school.
