I sometimes feel like I am International student myself because I am married to a Canadian, so I can definitely relate to some of the difficulties International students have to go through. The biggest challenge that we have faced is money. It is so incredibly hard to get a job in Rexburg, I can never find one and my husband can only work on campus and hasn't had much luck finding one there either. My husband also does not qualify for government aid such as Pell Grants because he is not American, so, we continuously have to move back up to Canada to work, which I do not like at all.
My husband is a mechanical engineering major and most of the United States engineering firms have government contracts which require their employees to be U.S. citizens. So, when we are done with school, we will probably have to go back up to Cananda because he won't be able to work down here.
So, I can relate to many of the financial difficulties International students struggle with. We hopefully will be able to afford to apply my husband for permanent residency and eventually citizenship so we won't have to keep moving back and forth every six months.
