Description / Synopsis
International students pursuing higher education experience diverse challenges during their stay in their host culture. This project design relies on research findings of the pervasive challenges faced by international students in creating a guidebook for international students pursuing higher education at the University of Northern British Columbia. The stress that students encounter around the psychological and social-cultural domains is often difficult to mitigate when familiar support systems are not available and/or accessible. The dominant stress areas identified during the cross-cultural transition are in the areas of language, academic, social, financial, and labor market. The availability of support systems that provide international students with awareness about cross-cultural challenges, support resources, and their functions in the academic setting as well as community environment can assist them in better integration and successful outcomes. |
