Bu çalışma, uluslararası eğitim olanaklarının yaygınlaşması ile kültürlerarası geçişin önemli aktörleri konumuna gelen uluslararası öğrencilerin sorunlarını ele almaktadır. Bu bağlamda farklı Afrika ülkelerinden Erciyes Üniversitesi’ne eğitim görmeye gelen 10 üniversite öğrencisi çalışma grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, uluslararası öğrencilerin Türkiye’de eğitim aldıkları süre içerisinde en önemli sorunlarının; ayrımcılık, ilişki ve iletişim süreçlerini yönetme ile ilgili sorunlar ve sosyokültürel sorunlar olduğunu göstermektedir. Öğrencilerin yaşadıkları sorunlar, Covid-19 pandemisi öncesi ile kıyaslandığında farklılaşmaktadır. Pandemi sürecinin özellikle akademik sorunları önemli ölçüde arttırdığı gözlenirken, öğrencilerin psikolojik sorunlarında da artış olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir.
