into English.
It
’
s my pleasure
to write this column about international students
at an American business school, from the
perspective of an American. Though
Yale, and all other top schools, focus on granting
a
‘
global
’
MBA experience, the
style of
instruction, the classroom environment, and the
nuances of school culture are very much American.
In speaking to
my classmates who come
from other countries, particularly China, it seems
that three key pillars of the U.S. education
experience actually come as a major
culture shock: loud and often boisterous
in
?
class
discussion; the reliance on
teamwork to
complete tasks; and the unofficial importance of
socializing to build a network within the class.
For someone
who has grown up in the
Americanschool system, conforming to these three
attributes happens almost subconsciously, and
thinking that others may find them
surprising or difficult to tackle reveals the
unintended limits of my own world view.
