(46)Anydiscussion of the American educational system would be less than complete if itdid not mention the emphasis that many colleges and universities place upon thenonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education, often defined as personal growth. Perhaps a useful way of viewing the notion of personal growth wouldbe to picture the very large and general term“education” as beingall-embracing, including as subsets within it academic and nonacademiccomponents.
This may be one of the most difficult concepts to convey to someonewho is not intimately familiar with American higher education. Few educationalsystems in other countries place the same emphasis on this blend of academicand personal education. The majority of colleges and universities in the UnitedStates make some attempt to integrate personal and intellectual growth in theundergraduate years.

A great many American campuses and communities have organizedspecial extracurricular activities for students from other countries. (50)On most campuses, one can find an international club, which includes Americans,where students can get to know and learn socially from students from othercountries, as well as Americans.International students are almost alwaysinvited, through organized hospitality activities, into the homes of Americansliving in or outside the academic community.
