Abstract
Currently there is limited research concerning the international student academic, social and personal experience at undergraduate universities, with even less conducted at Canadian universities. This gap in knowledge is an issue in universities as international students comprise an increasingly larger proportion of the student population and there is increased emphasis on attracting international students to Canada. The current study explored the undergraduate student experience to discover any differences that may exist between international and domestic students. Data collection involved the analysis of the National Survey of Student Engagement at a small Atlantic university across an nine-year span. To supplement the quantitative data obtained from the surveys, focus groups were conducted with both international and domestic students. Results from earlier surveys (NSSE 2005 – 2009) demonstrated that few differences exist between the two populations. However, more recent findings, (NSSE 2013), show significant differences between the international and domestic student experience in their quality of interactions with peers, faculty, administrative assistants and others.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
