| Abstract | The University of Alberta conducted this survey of foreign students to determine (1) the need for an International Center; (2) the kinds of academic experiences foreign students have; (3) the students' perception of the Foreign Student Office; and (4) how foreign students adjusted to life in Canada and at the University of Alberta. The group surveyed included Canadian students, foreign students, and students sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The students responded that they felt such a center should be a focal point for social and cultural interaction. A majority of the foreign and CIDA students were willing to make a financial commitment to such a center, while Canadian students were not. A majority of all three groups indicated that the Center should be open to everyone on campus. A chi-square analysis of responses indicated that more foreign and CIDA students than could be expected felt they were completely prepared to handle work at the University of Alberta, while fewer Canadian students than expected felt themselves prepared. Students' perceptions of the functions of the Foreign Student Office were ranked, with the most commonly preceived function being to help the foreign student adjust to Canadian society. The problems in adjusting to Canada and the University were surveyed using open ended questions, and ranged from finding the way around the city and campus and getting a job for money and experience, to establishing a bank account and finding a babysitter.
