The discussion of international students in the achievement gap involves more than simply comparing them to domestic students. Some international students possess more competence in the English language and multicultural understanding, which can lead to negative attitudes towards other international students who do not have this readiness. Making the issue worse is that international students are expected to adapt on their own to any new culture based on the university/country they move to and that there is already a bias against international students where they are seen as incapable and incompetent due to their failure to integrate to the educational student (which would be foreign to them). As a result, they are less likely to get any help that they need to close the achievement gap between them and domestic students.
