Foreign Student Finds Barnard Home Away From Home
A Mexican high school student named Fifi, living in New York previously, chooses Barnard College for its city setting and educational chances. She notes the diverse American and Mexican student body, language variety, and homesickness as she begins her first independent life away from family. The Mexican American High School in Mexico City includes about 27 nationalities and a bilingual focus, with a July to June academic year and a November December vacation. After high school, Mexican students typically spend two prep years before entering university, akin to the first two years of an American college.
