Includes bibliographical references and index.

Ambitious and anxious : Chinese undergraduates in the United States -- A love for separation : studying abroad as the new education gospel in urban China -- "From hello to Harvard" : the pathways to American higher education -- Navigating and comparing Chinese and American education systems -- Protective segregation : Chinese students hanging out among themselves -- College major choices, rationales, and dilemmas -- Think before speak : a real conundrum for classroom participation? -- Changes and reflections -- Stay vs. return : that is the question -- What American universities needs to know about Chinese undergraduates.

"In Ambitious and Anxious, the sociologist Yingyi Ma offers a multifaceted analysis of this new wave of Chinese students based on research in both Chinese high schools and American higher-education institutions. Ma argues that their experiences embody the duality of ambition and anxiety that arises from transformative social changes in China. These students and their families have the ambition to navigate two very different educational systems and societies. Yet the intricacy and pressure of these systems generates a great deal of anxiety, from applying to colleges before arriving to looking ahead upon graduation. Throughout the book, Ma sheds light on the role of class in the experiences of this relatively privileged population. Ambitious and Anxious also considers policy implications for American colleges and universities, including recruitment, student experiences, faculty support, and career services"--
