Older students, those with previous experience of living abroad, and those with better language proficiency all seemed to adapt better. Implications: The findings suggest that students should possibly study abroad when they are more mature, and that they should aim for a higher level of language ability before they leave home. Limitations: Although this was quite a large survey only about 30 of overseas students at the university were involved. Some national groups were under-represented. Proposals: As we are not aware of other previous research in this field, it would be useful to replicate the study in another university, possibly with a different cross-section of overseas students, to see if similar results emerged.
