What Do International Students Face During Their Studies?

Admission Requirements vs. Academic Standards

Language admission requirements at foreign universities are artificially lowered in favor of profiteering.

As a result of this mismatch between the language skills and the course material, international students are denied the opportunity to obtain high grades as the academic standards are too high for them to decently complete the course.

Recent studies show that there is a huge gap in GPA among students with the same cognitive abilities but different language backgrounds. Overseas students experience complications in understanding course material, writing assignments, and presenting reports. Even though they spend twice as much time on their studies as native speakers, they rarely score the same grades without extra help.

In Western universities, on average, a student writes 146 pages of various written assignments per year. Students must produce dozens of types of assignments (there are more than 10 types of essays alone). The lack of language skills and tough assignment requirements result in more time spent on homework by international students.

Here are a few typical writing issues that students struggle with:

Grammar, punctuation, and writing style
Unintentional plagiarism
Citation and formatting styles

Study-related Stress, Anxiety, and Depression

Studies report that 50% of international students experience high levels of anxiety and 75% of them also feel more stressed.
