Abstract

Objectives: China now offers top-notch postsecondary education to students worldwide. Similar problems develop every year when hundreds of international students come to China for further education, creating new difficulties. This study looks into the challenges and obstacles international postgraduate students face while spending a full academic year at NENU in Changchun, China.Methodology: A qualitative process was used to choose 86 international students, both male and female. Six foreign students, all nationals of different countries, were recruited from various Northeast Normal University schools. After gathering the data through a thorough process of in-person interviews, a themetic analysis method was applied.Findings: Emerging themes were examined in both the individual interviews and the aggregate for more examination. The findings demonstrated how a number of issues, including the academic barrier, the cultural barrier, and adjustment strategies, affect the lives of recently arrived students. Incorporate issues related to diet, communication, and other psychological factors.Implications:&Conversely, these obstacles also spur international students to create problem-solving solutions. They create novel learning strategies to overcome obstacles as they grow into autonomous learners. Time, effort, and a great deal of support from various sources are required for the adjustment and adaptation.
