full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis examines how international students use social activities to prevent or diminish these feelings of loneliness and homesickness. This study explores if students rather participate in social activities that are organized independently, or activities that are organized with help from a third party (like an international student organization or the university. Besides, if the social contacts with whom the activities occur, are mainly from the same nationality or a different one as theirs.Findings show that two thirds of the international students have experienced loneliness, and that around one-third has experienced homesickness. For both loneliness and homesickness, independently organized social activities are mostly used, followed by social activities organized with help from a third party.
Furthermore, can be learned from the results that the type of relations across international students is predominantly cross-cultural.
