Summary

Immigrant college students represent a diverse population across the United States. In this chapter, Michelle Leao and Stephen John Quaye engage in a quest to use our own immigrant stories to enrich the larger narrative of immigrant college students in the United States. We utilized a duoethnography to capture our higher education experiences through our undergraduate and graduate experiences. From our conversations, we focus on four themes: studying people around us, assimilating and fitting in, using our accent and language, and developing our immigrant identities. With those themes in mind, we close by offering recommendations for policy and practice to support immigrant college students.
