Abstract
The University of Groningen has stated that it wants to attract more Chinese students to enlarge its status as a global university. China is nowadays the leading source of international students for universities worldwide. Chinese students, however, face difficulties in adjusting after a cross-cultural transition. Students are argued to adjust more easily by creating attachment to the new environment, in which institutes can have a substantial effect. When attachment is created, it is likely that the place will be recommended to other potential students, which has been labelled the ‘network mediated migration’ theory. The municipality and university both benefit from the arrival of international students. By adjusting policy the institutions are able to create a better bond to the students. As a consequence, the institutions will need to understand how conditions can be created to strengthen attachment to their place.
