<p>Are there many Koreans, Chineses, or Japaneses who are not native-speakers??</p>
<p>Do they hang out with Americans a lot or are there mostly hanging out themselves???</p>
<p>yes there are some. My S's dinner group consists of native korean and chinese kids.</p>
<p>Simba, I think the OP said "not native".<br>
Lax2011, by non native speakers did you mean Asian Americans, who are Americans born here of Asian decent? If so, then yes. There is an Asian American Students Association, a Korean American Students Association, as well as many other multicultural organizations.</p>
<p>I'm a non-native Korean-American.</p>
<p>I think the OP means Asians who are not native speakers of English, by which I infer that s/he refers mostly to int'l students, and not Asian Americans. If I'm right (to be confirmed by the OP), then simba's interpretation is correct, in that those Asians are native of their Asian languages, and non-native in English, which is what the OP probably means. (There is a post by the OP him/herself saying s/he is int'l <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2372063#post2372063%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=2372063#post2372063</a>, so I guess my interpretation is correct - however I have no idea how to answer the question :( )</p>
<p>haha,, yes, I'm talking about int'l students whose English is their 2nd language. Are there a lot of them, and do they hang out among themselves or with Americans???</p>
<p>Here's a post that addresses similar issues:</p>

Well, I'm not going to read through this entire thread to see if someone responded to Huda. (I'm sure someone did, but I'll add my two cents, anyway.)</p>

But somehow I tend to be afraid that Princeton is cliquish. Do the International students fit in very naturally? How often do fun-events happen...concerts, formals and trips? I haven't visited the place, you see, for geographical constraints. And what is Princeton town like? Does it go to sleep early? Because I'm nocturnal. It pains me to see how vague I am, and I'm sure I'm sure whatever decision I'm gonna make is going to be an ill-informed one.

<p>I can't really speak on behalf of International students in particular (except a few from England, but that's obviously not quite the same), but it seemed like everyone I talked to had no problem assimilating. And it didn't seem to me, when I visited, that ethnic cliques had formed. For the most part, people hung out primarily with those whom they lived with, but by no means exclusively. Still, someone who has actually spent at least a semester at Princeton will be able to answer this far better than I can.
