Learn key English phrases and slang.

This seems obvious, but the slang is the important part. College students in America typically don?t speak as formally as the books and guides that teach non-English speakers, so be sure to research some commonly used phrases and slang terms among the youth of America. If you hear a phrase that confuses you, don?t be afraid to ask! It will be easier to make friends with other students if you show genuine interest in what they?re saying.

Get involved!

Extracurricular activities are a huge part of American school culture, especially in universities. Since American universities typically work to serve a wide variety of needs, you?re likely to find a club for just about any activity you can imagine. Get involved with sports, a charity organization or something relevant to your course of study, and it?ll help you make friends and gain genuine immersion into American culture.

Keep up with pop culture and sports for good conversation topics .
