The volume explores important topics pertaining to international student wellbeing, their learning, post-study and socio-cultural experiences, and represents a fascinating contribution to the growing body of literature on higher education internationalization. –-Maia Chankseliani, Associate Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Oxford, UKThe airport exit lounge is a proven gateway to excitement, adventure and learning the unexpected. In this impressive collection, Bista and colleagues demonstrate why tackling the difficulties, satisfaction and surprises of learning about foreign cultures is usually a life-changing event. –Prof. Dr. Roger Boshier, University of British Columbia, Canada An authoritative book that offers a detailed examination of the contextual influences on international student identities and learning experiences. The compelling empirical perspectives of international student wellbeing and post-study experiences make a scholarly and critical contribution to furthering our understanding of the complexities faced by international students in their educational journeys. An essential reading for anyone concerned with and committed to enhancing international student experience.— Namrata Rao, Senior Lecturer in Education, Liverpool Hope University, UK Global Perspectives on International Student Experiences in Higher Education: Issues and Challenges is the first book to systematically look at the challenges and issues involved for both international students and their hosts. The focus for universities has been on recruitment rather than on structural and programmatic changes that would help both students and hosts to prevent difficulties during their stay abroad. Starting with an Introductory Chapter which gives an excellent bird’s-eye view of the context and issues involved in international student experiences, the following 18 chapters in this book provide a multi-faceted look through empirical perspectives and insights, at major challenges faced by international students in higher education which will guide policymakers and students alike. —Prof. Dr. Ratna Ghosh, Distinguished James McGill Professor and W.C.Macdonald Professor of Education, McGill University, Canada; Past-President, Comparative and International Education Society "A comprehensive account of international student experiences and backgrounds from multiple perspectives, this book fills a void in articulating how higher education is strengthened and enriched by the diversity and multiculturalism international students have brought to campuses while addressing the actions needed to provide better services to support, nurture, and ensure their success." —Prof. Dr. Jun Liu, Vice Provost for Global Affairs, Stony Brook University, United States"Important addition to empirical research on student experiences. Highly recommended to international higher education practitioners." ––Markus Laitinen, President, European Association for International Education (EAIE)
