Taiwan · United States passports · started 2015–2019
The vast majority of international students are from China, the rest are from UWC schools, which is to say even though the numbers may look diverse (not really), the reality is otherwise. The vast majority of students are from just outside of Boston, so you're looking at upper middle class kids who went to prep schools. It was really hard for me to find the people that I vibed with among the local students, and it took me a while to realise that I enjoyed being around the international kids a lot more. There just wasn't that many of them... The school doesn't have systems to support international students, however the professors were all just incredible people and found various ways to accommodate those who needed it. I did immensely appreciate the fact that the campus dorms allowed students to stick around during the holidays, providing food, too, as I didn't have family in the US to go to for fall break and xmas.

Across every review here, expected to already be local predicts whether someone belonged. Treated as foreign doesn't. Why that is
