The International student experience in the U.S. is full of unexpected twists and turns, much like a deck of trading cards. This project aims to capture the journey of every International student, who begins their journey with uncertainty about what lies ahead. Each card in the deck represents a possible scenario that they may encounter along the way, divided into four categories: professors, roommates, surprises, and school. On the back of the cards is a puzzle piece. When collected enough pieces, one can get a poster of a sarcastic ramen recipe.
The cards will be mixed and distributed in small packages of four, offering a unique and unpredictable glimpse into the international student experience.
