Book Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the responses to a survey questionnaire of the international student population enrolled at the University of Virginia in the Graduate Schools of Arts and Sciences, Architecture, Education, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Business Administration, Law, and Medicine during the academic year 1972-73. Emphasis in this study was on: (1) the relationship between the self-concept and the degree of academic and social involvement by international students in a culturally different environment and (2) the relationship between the international students' self-concept and their attitudes toward the University Counseling Center and the International Center. The objectives of the study were to answer the following questions: (1) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his academic adjustment to the University? (2) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his non-academic adjustment to the University? (3) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his perception of the University Counseling Center? (4) Is there a relationship between the international student's self-concept and his attitudes toward the International Center? (5) What is the international students' self-evaluation of levels of difficulty in adjusting to the University setting? (6) What is the international students' self-evaluation of their ability to use the English language? In order to meet the purposes of the study a three-part questionnaire was mailed to the 144 international graduate students from 43 different countries who were enrolled at the University of Virginia during the academic year 1972-73.

Parts I and II of the questionnaire were designed to survey the international students' academic and non-academic adjustment, and special perception and attitude toward the Counseling Center and the International Center. Part III of the questionnaire was a modified form of Osgood's Semantic Differential Technique using a five point scale to measure the students' self-concept. From an analysis of the data collected for this research study, the following conclusions have been drawn. (1) Sixty-three students reported that they were satisfied with their academic experience at the University, while 18 students reported that they were highly satisfied. (2 )When they have academic problems, they indicated that they would go to their academic advisor for assistance. Their second choice was faculty members and the third choice was family members. The institutional counselors, such as counselors at the Counseling Center, the International Student Advisor and dormitory counselors were chosen by few students. (3) There is a significant (p
