(1(A ny discussi on of the America n educati onal system would be less tha n complete if it did not mention the emphasis that many colleges and universities place upon the non academic, social, “ extracurricular ” aspect of educati on, astperdefiinied growth. Perhaps a useful way of viewing the notion of personal growth would be to

withi n it academic and non academic comp onents.
This may be one of the most difficult con cepts to convey to some one who is not in timately familiar with America n higher educati on. Few educati onal systems in other coun tries place the same emphasis on this ble nd of academic and pers onal educati on. The majority of colleges and uni versities in the Un ited States make some attempt to in tegrate pers onal and in tellectual growth in the un dergraduate years. (2( If the ultimate goal of un dergraduate educati on in America were simply to convey a set body of kno wledge, the term of studies could un doubtedly be reduced. Yet the terms of studies are exte nded in order to give stude nts a cha nee to grow and develop in other ways.

America n degree. It rema ins an en tirely optio nal activity, but (4(it is no ted here because
America ns have tradti on ally viewed success in one ' s role as a citize n as closely lin ked to a “ wero un ded ” life that in corporates a variety of social, athletic, and cultural activities into a
person ' s experienee.
A great many America n campuses and com mun ities have orga ni zed special extracurricular activities for students from other countries. (5(On most campuses, one can find an international club, which includes Americans,where students can get to know and learn socially from stude nts from other coun tries, as well as America ns. Intern ati onal stude nts are almost always in vited, through orga ni zed hospitality activities, into the homes of America ns liv ing in or outside the academic com muni ty.
