Academic support

Moving to Reno

People become products of their own cultures and environments, having learned the values, attitudes, customs, languages, and other aspects of the culture that surrounded them. It is a challenging, stimulating, and sometimes difficult process to leave one's culture and go to live in another country. w88 sports betting are separated from the people and circumstances that define your role in society when w88 sports betting enter a new culture and this may result, in varying degrees, in a loss of identity. In a new environment, w88 sports betting must learn to adjust to many new and different things all at the same time. Living abroad can be a very exciting experience, but it also requires much effort, patience, and perseverance.

The adjustment cycle

People who enter a new culture almost inevitably suffer from a certain level of disorientation. Cultural adjustment is the process that people go through when they go to another culture. The cycle of emotions that people experience varies somewhat with each individual; however, there is a set of stages that most people tend to experience. w88 sports betting may find that one stage is more pronounced than another, or that w88 sports betting seem not to enter a particular stage at all. This information may be helpful in understanding your reactions to living in the United States.

Stage 1

Stage 1 is characterized by a high level of excitement and perhaps some anxiety. In this stage of initial euphoria, everything is new and w88 sports betting are busy with the initial tasks of settling into the culture. At this point, they are most likely to notice similarities and to assume that people everywhere are basically alike. This stage can last from a few weeks to several months, but it inevitably ends.

Stage 2

Soon after arrival, it becomes apparent that many aspects of living in the United States differ from your own culture. The differences in the educational system, food, dress, language, friendships, values, customs, transportation, climate, etc., start to become noticeable, and people react to the situation in different ways. These reactions, in the irritability stage, are referred to as culture shock. Culture shock can be characterized by feelings of frustration, irritation, exhaustion, and disappointment at the difficulty in learning so many new things all at once. Since the new environment is the cause of the discomfort, some hostility toward Americans, the university, and the U.S. may be expressed at this time. It is common for international w88 sports betting to turn to each other in this stage in order to express their negative feelings. However, as they develop a deeper understanding of the culture, the w88 sports betting gradually adjust.

Stage 3

The gradual adjustment stage is characterized by a sense of greater comfort in the new culture. w88 sports betting adapt to the educational system, make a few friends, become involved in areas of interest, and establish a routine which allows them to function fairly well in the U.S. There will always be aspects of the culture that they do not like or choose not to adopt, but there are other aspects they enjoy and integrate into their lives. When w88 sports betting begin to make adjustments, they usually stay at this stage until it is time to return to their own culture.

Stage 4

As w88 sports betting near the completion of their studies, they often feel excited and anxious about returning home. Readjustment seems a strange concept to many international w88 sports betting, because they think they are going home to what is comfortable and familiar. However, by adjusting to the U.S. culture, they have changed in ways that may not be apparent until they return home. Depending on how long they have been gone, the situation at home may have changed a great deal as well. As you prepare to go home, the adjustment cycle begins again, and will most likely be characterized by the stages of initial euphoria, irritability, and gradual adjustment. Resolution involves somehow internalizing the experience gained in living in another culture and moving forward with life and career.

Cross-Cultural Adjustment

As w88 sports betting go through the adjustment cycle, your experience may differ from the described stages. It is very common to have a variety of high and low points during your stay in the U.S. and people have different reactions to living abroad depending on their background, experience, and personality. It is helpful to ask yourself the following questions as w88 sports betting encounter confusing situations:

How is this accomplished in this country?
Did the person I'm talking to understand what I said and what I meant?
What does this mean here?
Does this mean the same thing here as it does in my culture?

By asking such questions, you will increase your understanding of the culture and develop a pattern of adapting to life in the U.S. w88 sports betting often wonder how far they must go in their adaptation. There are two extreme responses to a new culture. At the one end is the person who refuses to make any adjustments. This person is probably unwilling to try new foods, to learn the language, and to change daily habits and will find it difficult to function in the culture and focus on returning home as soon as possible. On the other end, the person who completely assimilates becomes so Americanized that one would not know they were not born here. Almost everyone eventually finds a balance between these two extremes. You will probably accept some things about this country and reject others. There is no obligation to take on any U.S. habit or to change personal customs that you do not wish to. The following are suggestions for easing adjustment:

Learn and observe listen carefully and watch reactions.
Ask questions - don't be afraid to ask.
Try not to evaluate or judge - by comparing and labeling things as good or bad w88 sports betting may be misinterpreting the information.
Try to empathize put yourself in the other person's place and try to see the situation w88 sports betting the other person's perspective.
Show openness and curiosity.
Recognize anxiety and frustration - situations w88 sports betting might have treated lightly in your culture may have a greater impact on w88 sports betting here. Sometimes talking to someone who has experienced culture shock can help, such as another international student or an International Student Advisor.
Become involved - the more w88 sports betting put into the experience, the more w88 sports betting will gain from it. w88 sports betting should make an effort to meet people, form friendships, and get involved in activities.
Maintain a sense of humor

There is a Bank of America near the university which offers student accounts and currently has an ATM on campus. Other major banks in Reno are Wells-Fargo Bank, U.S. Bank, and Nevada State Bank. To open an account, w88 sports betting must provide proof of identification (passport, driver's license, or student ID). It is not necessary to have a social security card to open an account.

Checking and savings accounts

Services provided by banks in the U.S. are similar to those in other countries, but the terms used may differ from those with which w88 sports betting may be familiar. One of the most common points of confusion is the distinction between a savings account and a checking account. A savings account enables w88 sports betting to save money and accumulate interest on your savings account balance. Different banks pay different rates of interest and require different terms and conditions in order to receive interest. While it is easy to transfer money from a savings account to a checking account or vice versa, w88 sports betting cannot write checks for payment from a savings account. A checking account allows the convenience of paying for goods and services without having to carry cash with w88 sports betting. Checks are most often used for the payment of monthly bills (telephone, rent, university bills, etc.). Most area stores and establishments accept checks for purchases; however, many require a driver's license in order to use the check. Most banks offer a check card which is often a credit card that will deduct funds directly from your checking account balance. w88 sports betting can apply for the check card at your bank.

Automatic teller machines (ATM)

Automatic Teller Machines (ATM's) are computerized banking machines available 24 hours a day. These machines are operated with a special card and a secret access number, and can be used for depositing, transferring, and withdrawing money.

Some companies may provide special calling plans for overseas calls. w88 sports betting are strongly advised to contact the companies and obtain more details. w88 sports betting might consider asking your friends for advice about which company to choose.

AT&T
MCI
U.S. Sprint

These codes can be obtained w88 sports betting the local telephone book. Please be aware that placing a call through the operator requires an additional charge.

It is wise to obtain a calling card for times when w88 sports betting may need to make a long distance call while traveling. We recommend buying calling cards to call home as these are the most economical. w88 sports betting can buy such cards online or at local international grocery stores. It is also possible to make a collect call, where the person being called will pay for the charges. This happens to be the most costly, however.

International w88 sports betting must go to the Student Health Center (784-6598) after their OISS check-in and before class registration. The Student Health Center is located in the Redfield Building on the north side of campus.

Health and medical care

Unlike most countries, the United States has no national health care program. Consequently, medical costs are extremely high.

At the University of Nevada, Reno, international w88 sports betting are required to pay the university Student Health Center fee and purchase the "Student Health Insurance Plan."

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months into the future (for example, on December 1, 2002, your passport must be valid until June 1, 2003, or longer). If your passport is expired or will expire within 6 months of your re-entry, w88 sports betting must have your passport renewed before returning to the U.S. For a list of countries exempt from this rule, go to Six Month Club.
w88 sports betting must have your I-20 or DS-2019signed for travel by an advisor at the OISS. Failure to get the document signed could have serious consequences under current security procedures. In addition, if w88 sports betting are a student, we cannot sign your immigration document unless w88 sports betting have enrolled full-time or have been given permission to enroll less than full-time by an advisor at OISS. The travel signature is valid w88 sports betting 1 year while studying and 6 months while on post-completion Optional Practical Training.

Please carry the IELC and TMCC (old) I-20s or DS-2019s, in case w88 sports betting need to verify your continuous legal stay in the U.S.

Employment, taxes and finances

w88 sports betting F1/J1 to H-1B

The student is responsible for applying for the EAD; the employer is burdened by any part of the application process.

Work based on Economic Hardship for F-1 w88 sports betting

w88 sports betting in F-1 status may apply for work based on economic hardship if they have: (a) maintained full-time status, (b) been w88 sports betting U.S. for over 9 months, and (c) experienced an unforeseen financial situation that has created an economic hardship.

If training or employment will be longer than 12 months, w88 sports betting should consider changing their status during the period of practical training to an H-1B w88 online casino betting, a non-immigrant temporary working w88 sports betting which allows one to work for up to six years.

OPT may be used in a variety of ways. Most international w88 sports betting apply for full-time employment authorization upon graduating from the university. A total of 12 months of full-time work authorized by the USCIS is granted. Some may apply to do OPT part-time during the program of study. During vacations such as summer, full-time OPT is allowed.
