Due to the shift toward globalization, the number of people coming from other countries to the United States has seen a drastic increase over the years. This can also be seen here at Ole Miss, where the number of international students has also seen an increase.

So why exactly do these international students decide to come to Ole Miss? German student Kirsten Liere-Netheler says she heard from other students that Ole Miss is a nice place and a lot of fun. Also, she and her German friends received scholarships from coming here.

Yes, the number of international students at Ole Miss is increasing, but are they really getting to know the Ole Miss students? Professor Michael Harvey says he never sees anyone speaking to any of the International students in his classes.

Liere-Netheler says she has not really made many American friends. All of her friends she has made are other international students.

The number of international students here is expected to continue to increase, so Ole Miss students could really take advantage of this opportunity and speak to people from all over the world.
