Asian Students: Their Experiences and Perceptions of Australian Universities.

Wilkinson, John W.; And Others

Journal of Marketing for Higher Education, v7 n3 p65-80 1996

A survey of 111 Asian students attending three South Australian universities found varied reasons for studying in Australia, four distinct student segments, but no dominant selection criteria. About one-quarter experienced communication problems, homesickness, or loneliness. Study-related difficulties varied, related to segment. A large minority experienced serious fears. Respondents rated university services as only moderately satisfactory. (MSE)
