For my Ananlysis paper 2 i am going to conduct an interview with my roommate. I gave him a pseudonym Eric (since the name of his favourite movie character is Eric). Eric is from Russia. He is a student and studies project management at Northeastern University. He is 24 years old. Eric made his decision to come to the USA 2 years ago. In this December he is planning to go back to Russia. I chose Eric for my interview because he is not from the USA and there will be no problems communicating with him during our interviews.
According to the U.S. census bureau, there are 149 mln people who live in Russia. The most populated region is Central region. Russia is officially a dual-national state with more than 185 ethnic groups that live in the country. Russians and Tatars represent the core population of Russia.
In 2010 more than 1,501,301 people from Russia were obtaining legal permanent resident status in the USA. According to the Homeland Sequrity report, 1,514,783 academic students were studying in the USA by the end of 2010 year. 32,773 students from Russia were studying in the USA by the end of 2010 year.
You will need to add a bit more about Eric. You can in fact erase his real name. How long has Eric been in this country? What does he study? Who did he choose to come to the States for his study? Does he plan to stay?
For the census, it’d be more useful to find out the # of Russian immigrants in the US and the # of international students in the US. If possible, the # of Russian Int’l students in the US.
