Baker, 2004;Dyson & Renk, 2006;Skowron vd., 2004), yeni yaşam tarzına uyum (Clinciu, 2013;Mutambara & Bhebe, 2012), depresyon ve dalgınlık gibi psikolojik rahatsızlıklar (Fisher & Hood, 1987), yabancı öğrenciler için dil problemleri (Sungur vd., 2016;Wang vd., 2006), maddi durum, karşılıklı ilişkiler (Sungur vd., 2016) ve kültürel farklılıklar, sosyal destek eksikliği (Pare & Tsay, 2014), kültür şoku ve izolasyon (Mudhovozi, 2011;Nailevna, 2017;Rabia, 2017;Zhou vd., 2008) şeklinde sıralanabilir.…”
