Abstract	This article describes one Syrian student's experience coming to the United States to study at a private research university. Based on his time in the US, Musbah Shaheen asserts that the current practices of working with international students on college campuses contribute to the erosion of international students' cultural belonging. The ability of international students to practice, honor, and simultaneously maintain multiple cultural perspectives without feeling the need to sacrifice one culture for the sake of the other--biculturalism--is essential for forming meaningful relationships in the United States while maintaining authentic connections with the students' home countries. As an international student and a student affairs professional, he is trying to hold both cultural realities, the Syrian and the American, but he has internalized the two as distinct and almost mutually exclusive. He explains that although he feels severed physically and emotionally from his culture, his name remains one significant authentic connection to my past and a part of his cultural identity. In this article, Shaheen describes his experience as a Syrian student in the US and offers recommendations for how college campuses can better foster biculturalism in international students. (ERIC).
