Paper presented at the ISEC/BIFAD Working Seminar on International Education and Training: a focus on relevancy and support services, April 23-24, 1986, Washington, D.C., Author emphasizes how the educational needs of lesser-developed-country (LDC) students are very different from their U.S. counterparts. "An international student's success in our universities is often hampered by language inadequacies, cultural and religious differences, dietary restrictions, extended family separations, and non-familiarity with the U.S. university system." Calls for universities to offer the most important things U.S. universities have to offer: methods of systematic inquiry, organizational skills, administration; prioritization of values and effort; and ability to conceptualize what's important.
