Remote Learning and Motivation!!! (example)

# data[].attributes.body
A problem that impacts me and many other students due to the Covid 10 pandemic is lack of motivation. The situation is that many schools are not holding in person classes and are relying on Zoom and other forms of remote and online learning. Although remote learning offers some interaction with classmates, it doesn't make me feel as motivated as having to attend class in person. My specific circumstances makes it even more challenging because my roommate is very fun and distracts me.

Problem: A problem that impacts me and many other students is the lack of affordable housing.

Situation: The cost of housing in Glendale and nearby areas has been rising steadily, making it difficult for students and young professionals to find affordable places to live. Rent prices are high, and affordable options are limited.

Circumstances: Students, especially international students need to balance studies and part-time work, which makes it even more challenging to afford decent housing. This forces many of us to either live far from campus, increasing commute times, or settle for substandard living conditions.

Why it’s a problem: The high cost of housing adds financial stress and makes it harder to focus on studies. It also reduces the quality of life for students who have to compromise on basic needs like safe, comfortable housing.

Who it affects: This issue affects not just me, but also many students and low-income individuals in the area who struggle to find affordable places to live.

Possible solutions: Solutions could include advocating for more affordable housing options, implementing rent control policies, or exploring housing assistance programs for students, build more affordable dormitory or residential halls, or establish student networks particularly on seeking roommates for apartment sharing.

A problem that impacts international students including me is higher college tuition for international students. This circumstance is hard to solve, but still there are solutions. This situation could be solved by giving scholarship opportunity for international students; there are limitation to international students to get scholarship. Also, there is a regulation which prohibits students who have F-1 Visa to earn money, so abolishing the regulation will help them.

Language barriers present significant challenges for international students, affecting their academic performance, social integration, and career prospects. Many students encounter cultural misunderstandings and struggle with fluency. Universities can improve support systems by offering interactive language workshops, mentorship programs, and customized tutoring, helping students build confidence, enhance adaptability, and achieve effective communication for successful adjustment.

Problem: The international student can't understand the lecture of professor and they need to improve their English level. The situation for me is I face language barrier, and in some professor 's lecture is hard to understand.

why it's a problem: Most of the international student can't master English as well as their native language. Thus, when they communicate with local people at ASU or listening the concept of what their professor said, they are confusing about some key point which is difficult to understand.

Problem: Lack of Transportation
Situation: Not having a car makes it very inconvenient for me to get around. I attend classes at ASU West Campus, but public transportation in the area is limited. The problem affects students like me who don’t own cars, especially international students and those with tight budgets. A possible solution could be expanding bus routes or offering subsidized transportation services for students.
Question for classmates: What other affordable transportation solutions could help students without cars?
