Rationale of the Survey


These days, many people go to study abroad to get better education and get new experience. It is necessary to living another country. So, people might be experience with the different culture than their own culture such as climate, language, behavior, dress, food and accommodation. It is called culture shock. Culture shock is one of the biggest problem for International students. Culture aspect affect students to change their habit. Therefore, we want to know how they feel about Australian culture.
In addition, we survey to find out the big gap between student’s culture and Australian culture. International students might get culture shock when they came to Australia to living in Australia especially in the first week because they didn’t know Australian culture.

Finally, we give recommendation for International students to live more comfortable.
