In this qualitative study, we investigated the social class worldviews of Chinese International Students (CIS) in the United States. Social class worldviews are a constellation of beliefs, attitudes, and values that individuals use to maintain a sense of psychological equilibrium within their perceived social class groups and culture. Having interviewed eleven CIS in a midwestern city in the United States, the researchers found that their experiences reflected five themes: (1) social class consciousness; (2) social class socialization; (3) social class resources; (4) social class values; and (5) social class challenges. Suggestions for research and implications for higher education are discussed
