摘要：

The study explored the experiences of international students at a South African university. A purposeful sample of seven international students were the participants (males = 3, females = 4, age range = 22 to 28 years). Content analysis of the responses showed that international students experienced both academic and social challenges. The students reported using personal and environmentally focused control strategies to cope with adjustment problems.
