      Rachel Lin sure !
      1) is there a cultural shock when you come to Berkeley? What was the cultural shock ? How did you cope with it ?
      2) How is the transition for someone from a non AP/IB board to fit and excel in the Berkeley curriculum?
      3) Are you happy with choosing Berkeley as your undergrad college ?
      4) is it tougher to make friends from different backgrounds?
      5) what are tips for incoming int students to best prepare themselves?
      Thank you !

      @Honey Flower Check out this page about UC Berkeley scholarships: financialaid.berkeley.edu/types-of-aid-at-berkeley/scholarships/. Some Berkeley-specific scholarships can be hard to get though because they may be mainly focused on in-state California residents. You can also apply for non-Berkeley-related scholarships! Some countries may have programs where you can apply for scholarships in your home country that will help pay for college abroad in the USA. You would also be able to take out loans in the US as an international student, though from my understanding, the loans available are different compared to US residents and your loan options might be more limited.
      Check out these videos from international students to hear their experiences, talking about paying for college etc which might be helpful since they went through the international student experience!
