The problem is the same for all the students; no matter where they are from, whether they have a car or not, whether they have preoccupied parents or not, whether they have time to pack during exam week or not. Is this being friendly and considerate? As an international student, I feel doubly frustrated. I feel kicked out of this place, and I feel that I am denied the right to fulfill this year I spent at Colby. Graduation is part of the American tradition; we don't have any equivalent to it in France. Several of my friends are graduating this year and I would have loved to share this experience with them. Every American student will live this, but we will not be allowed to because we arei here for just one year.I doubt that a handful of foreign students would have disrupted the festive atmosphere of the campus, bankrupted dining services or heavily weighed on the amount of work of the custodians. We could still moveoff campus for a couple of weeks, find somebody who nicely lets us invade his/her privacy, Don't shut us out. and walk back and forth to Colby.
