For many students, this is the first time speaking and studying in English on a full-time basis. Sometimes the experience of adjusting to the speaking and reading speeds is a little frustrating. There are two things to keep in mind initially. First, you will adjust far more rapidly than you can imagine at the beginning. After two weeks and then a month, you will be quite surprised at the acceleration adjustment that you will experience. Second, if you are very concerned, speak with someone, the International Student Advisor, a professor, an advisor, or an older student, all of whom can be very helpful and encouraging in assisting with this adjustment.
