Chinese students will want bo be aware of these American customs, and, in particular, to be cautious about giving gifts to people in official positions. -- Role of Alcohol The quantity of "drinking" and drunkenness on American campuses is a major concern of educators and health officials. Among undergraduates, particularly younger ones, drinking with the aim of getting drunk is often a key component of social life. This is truer of males than of females, but females are not excluded.

Police are kept busy during the early-morning hours when bars close, as students under the influence of alcohol leave te bars and sometimes engage in fighting or other destructive activities. Students from other countries generally seem far less interested in drinking, at least in public places. This sets up a significant barrier to socializing between American and foreign students. -- Stratification Whenever a large group of people occupy a particular space over a period of time, they tend to associate more with those who resemble themselves. On an American campus, one can find evidence of groupings based on several points similarity, such as age, place of origin, gender, field of study, socio-economic status, religion, interests and race.
