New here? 👋
This channel is for international students from around the world who want to understand the rules no one explains—in class, in daily life, and in their future careers.
Welcome to The Successful International Student. 😊
My name is Ada Sandoval, I have been a business instructor of International Students for over 10 years, and I’m passionate about helping you truly thrive abroad—not just survive. I’ve lived this journey myself, in the USA and in Canada, and since 2010, I’ve mentored over 2,000 international students from around the world.
On this channel, I teach the unspoken curriculum of studying abroad:
✅ • Academic and cultural systems
✅ • Confident communication
✅ • Expectations, relationships, and professional norms
Each video is a 15 to 20-minute mini-lesson for international students who want to live a meaningful, successful study-abroad experience.
If you’ve ever thought, “I wish someone had explained this earlier,” you’re in the right place.
The Successful International Student
International students, Erasmus students… this one is for you.
The hidden expectations that many international students carry when studying abroad.
Family pressure, career pressure, and the feeling that you cannot fail.
If you are studying abroad right now, I think this episode will resonate with you.

And tell me in the comments:
What expectation feels heaviest for you right now?

Today one of our UNLA "Change Management" students, ALEKSANDR EMELIANENKO, shared some insights he connected to our analysis in class about Behavioral Approach to Change. Great insights that can help us understand Motivation and Drive, from a neuroscience perspective.
