For all people, having good person's physical, mental, emotional, and social health factors is necessary for enjoying fulfilling lives.

Foreign students live far from their homes. Well-being, both happiness and life satisfaction described as how you feel about yourself and your life. Unfortunately, lots of people feel dissatisfied in their present life, which may lead to more difficulties for the students than they expected. As a response, we are motivated to interview overseas students enrolled in Swinburne University's ELICOS course about their well-being. We will survey the target audience by conducting a survey that includes demographic information

about the respondents as well as questions about their experience of homesickness after moving to Melbourne, how to care for themselves, and how to deal with health problems.

Respondents may be unfamiliar with the treatment system and communication in Australia. We would like to know how English learners respond to illness and how they can be happy in new circumstances and easily to adapt it.

Further, we expect to learn how they deal with the challenges based on the survey results. For instance, what they do with their well-being and other social life problems, and how they receive help and advice.

According to Tilburg & Vingerhoets , et al(2005), homesickness is defined as a depression-like reaction, feeling nostalgic when leaving home.

(2011) reported that research has found that students studying abroad tend to make more friends in their home country and surveyed 84 international students about the relationship between friendship networks, social connections , homesickness and the results showed that they were less homesick because they were satisfied with life away from home and connected with more international friends.
