International students put in extra effort to make UNC home

Posted Jun 20, 2017
Yirun Li fears speaking up in class because she feels her English isn’t good enough. Yiran Hua wonders if she will stay in the US after graduation, because acquiring a H1-B working visa isn’t easy. Fan Feng worries she won’t fit in because she has to try harder to communicate. These international students traveled from China to UNC, and they face challenges most American students don’t.
