In the Asian context, when students transition from pre-university to an International Branch Campus of a Western university, they tend to experience significant differences in a number of areas in their first-year university lives. Because of the different educational cultures, students and teachers may have different expectations on the academic culture of university. If a misalignment of these expectations occurs, the potential for a negative learning and teaching experience is likely to increase. This article attempts to identify the gaps between the two parties to circumvent the potential problems that come with it. A survey was conducted with 728 first-year students and 124 teachers who teach first-year subjects at a Western university international branch campus in Malaysia. The results show that significant gaps exist in their expectations on course content, responsiveness, assessment support aspects, and concern for student. These findings warrant attention from the home campus as well as the branch campus. Some suggestions are offered to address these gaps in expectations.

过渡期的期望：国际分校校园对大学的学生和教师的期望

在亚洲背景下，当学生从大学预科过渡到西方大学的国际分校时，他们在大学一年级的生活中往往会遇到很多差异。由于教育文化的差异，学生和教师对大学的学术文化可能会有不同的期望。如果发生这些期望的不一致，则负面的学习和教学经验的可能性可能会增加。本文试图找出两方之间的差距，以规避随之而来的潜在问题。在马来西亚西部大学国际分支校区对728名一年级学生和124名老师教授了一年级课程进行了调查。结果表明，他们在课程内容，响应能力，评估支持方面以及对学生的关注方面的期望存在巨大差距。这些发现值得家庭校园和分支校园的关注。提供了一些建议来解决这些期望差距。
