The results demonstrated that almost 72. 7% of students were between the ages of 20-32, however, there was an equal percentage of students who are mature-aged and older adults above the age of 30, which constituted 9. 1% each. The number of students that arrived from India (70%), while 20% from Colombia and 10% from New Zealand of international students chose to settle down in Australia (Figure 2). The students in this study (Figure 3) showed that some days are better than others and that adjusting to life in a foreign country is challenging on most days. In addition, (Figure 3) showed that the overwhelming majority of attendees 45. 5% said they wanted to make an effort to meet new local people and foreign students active in the larger community in order to adapt quickly to a new setting. However, 18. 2% of the participants disagreed with this viewpoint. The results (Figure 4) indicated that people had a lot of emotions when they were adjusting to changes in a new culture, such as feeling tired and running out of their homes, feeling overwhelmed, which is respectively 27. 3% and 18. 2% both. Furthermore, 54. 4% believe that a minimum of 6 months is needed to adjust to life in a new country, while 27. 3% believe that 1 year is the optimal time frame (Figure 5). It is interesting to view that (Figure 6) missing consanguinity and friends is one of the most challenging aspects of living abroad is 20%. The participants claimed that they had to worry about finances, which is 27. 3% (Figure 7). It can also be seen (Figure 8) that learning the language and culture, a difficult task for them, represented by 72. 7% of the students. Additionally, 18. 2 % (Figure 9) are constantly questioning their decision to stay in Australia. While 45. 5% remain calm, satisfied, and excited.
