Summary: Many learning institutions are now designed to cater to the needs of students and staff from different cultures. The USIU in Kenya is no different. It provides learning opportunities to learners from different nations and regions of the world.When these learners and other staff come into the new culture, they often experience culture shock because the culture they now embrace is different from what they have socialized into back in their own culture. This paper examines the extent to which differences in culture orientations affect learners' abilities to pursue academic programs effectively. We interviewed only a small number of learners since we were interested more in the narrational data and in few instances used statistical evidence.
