The simulation exercise, ACIREMA, is designed to sensitize participants to the difficulties that international students encounter in their quest for an American education. It acquaints the participants with the procedures students must follow from the initial contact with a U.S. educational institution to their arrival on campus. Participants are given initial instructions that their goal is to arrive to the U.S. as an international student and then dive into navigating the system talking to different entities to reach this goal.
