Being relocated in a new setting, overseas particularly, means disruption of established social networks and challenge to develop new ones. In this study, the author aimed to examine how the Chinese students' wives, who are relatively social isolated, manage to keep the established social networks and develop new ones in a U.S. university setting. The result of this study indicated that Internet played a significant role through the process of networking and mutual supporting. Strong ties and weak ties became blurring and happened at the same time through Internet. New networks developed in the host place functioned in a more utilitarian way. Even though these wives hardly had chances to interact with people in the host place, they managed to form a "visual" ethnic enclave through Internet to sharing space for information, supports, and other needs, which enabled them adjust well in the new environment and feel satisfied with their current lives.
