| Abstract: |
This paper focuses on a Muslim female doctoral student's experience while studying in the U.S. Through this narrative analysis, I hope to bring forward the voices of female Muslim students and make visible the amount of discrimination they face on campus. Nadia's stories have showcased the importance that universities in America should continue providing activities and seminars to educate those who work on campus to dispel misconceptions, prejudice, and fears about Muslim students (Mrayan & Saleh, 2016).
