Vol. 5 No. 3 (2015): Journal of International Students

This issue explores Japanese exchange students' challenges at a U.S. university, evidence of academic success despite language barriers, and the dynamics of intragroup conflict during study abroad. Articles also examine the role of ombudsman services in alleviating student difficulties, the historical and future outlook for international students in developed countries, and the acculturation journeys of doctoral students in the U.S.

Research briefs highlight the influence of country of origin on Asian students' learning gains and the psychological concerns of international students with implications for counseling. Book reviews offer practical insights into fostering student success and navigating higher education systems in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. This volume is an indispensable resource for educators, researchers, and practitioners committed to enhancing the global student experience.
