Abstract

The growth of South-South student migration, with India being a major destination, has started the internationalization of university campuses in India. International students encounter, more so than domestic students, challenges that can affect their academic performance. The student integration of international students which consists of both academic and social integration is a good predictor of how well students are going to succeed in a new academic setting. This research attempts to capture the experiences of international students from the global south in their integration in Manipal University, India. It looks at how well students both academically and socially integrate. Furthermore it tries to understand how extracurricular activities contribute to the social integration of international students. By conducting and analyzing ten in-depth interviews as part of a qualitative research study the purpose of this study is to gain knowledge on the experiences from international students in their integration in Manipal.
