Each year, students from around the world come to Butler County. This year is no exception. From left are Canice Onyegbule and Em- manuel Amaechi from Nigeria, Nina Johansson from Sweden, and Venezuelan Jesus Paolini. Thirty-two foreign students are attending BCCC during the 1984 fall semester. Students come from all over Thirty-two foreign students attended Butler County during the fall semester on student visas. This does not include any foreign students who have U.S. citizen- ships. Only a small number of foreign students are allowed to attend Butler on student visas each year,so that each student can receive any individual help he might need. Foreign students often take English as a Second Language (ESL) to enhance their knowledge of the English language. Counselor Bill Trent is in charge of all foreign students. Canice Onyegbule and Emmanuel Amaechi are two Nigerian students attending their final year at Butler. Canice is majoring in Business Administration. He likes Butler, but he said, Sometimes I have problems understanding the way things are done around here, which is sometimes bad. Emmanuel is majoring in Agricultural Economics. Jesus Paolini is from Venezuela, attending his second year at Butler. He is majoring in Data Processing Business Computer Programming, and praises the computer department here. His father went to BCCC, so Jesus decided to follow his father ' s footsteps. He is impressed with the college, but he has trouble making friends with his American classmates. It seems to me that a lot of people are afraid to make friends with the foreign students. He doesn ' t un- derstand this because in his homeland of Venezuela, the people are very friendly towards Americans. Jesus has a message to the people of the U.S.: Americans take their country for granted, always wanting to leave,etc. I personally have travelled to countries such as Columbia, Venezuela, and Brazil, and this country (America) is definitely the best. Jesus also thinks that Americans should treat their visitors (foreign students) with a little more respect. Christina (Nina) Johansson comes to Butler all the way from Trollhattan, Sweden. She is majoring in Communications, and is a writer for the student newspaper,The Lantern. Nina ' s younger brother, Per- Anders, was a foreign exchange student at Circle High School in Towanda two years ago. While attending school, Per-Anders lived at the home of Jo Rogers (BCCC instructor and yearbook advisor). When Nina decided to come to the U.S.A., she had inside con- nections. Foreign students suggest that the next time you see a foreign student, take the time to get to know him. It is really something to see how well these people can adapt to such a different lifestyle. 20 Foreign Students
