dc.description.abstract | This study examined the interview results of twelve college students in the Southeast region holding either freshman or sophomore status to answer two questions: How do new college students communicate with students of perceivably different co-cultural groups, and how does communication with perceivably different co-cultural groups shape the identity of college students? Through analyzing the data and applying relevant theories, two major themes developed: “Influences from New Co-cultures" and “Lack of Cultural Understanding.” These major themes were followed by a total of 5 subthemes. Through this analysis, the researcher found a need for cultural assimilation preparation to be instilled in new college students. | |
