However, international students are facing the following challenges. Firstly, the culture shock of moving to a new country can lead to depression and low mood. The second is loneliness, it is difficult to make new friends, which makes them more and more lonely. The main causes of loneliness are language barriers and cultural differences, which are also the reasons why many international students can't insist. The last challenge is missing hometown.
