Abstract

This article evaluated and summarized the key problems faced by Asian international students in the United States, with a particular focus on three major areas: adopting US culture, mental health issues and pressures associated with academic and career pursuits, and racial discrimination. Through literature analysis, this article also investigates the causes of the problems encountered by Asian international students in the United States, including factors such as increased competitiveness and prejudice towards psychological health concerns during the COVID-19 period. The article finally provides suggestions that aim to support international students in their studies in the US, highlighting the importance of cultural orientation programs, introducing effective resources on campus, and providing access to mental health services. The article also advises Asian foreign learners to get connected with American life before leaving their home nation. By addressing these issues, international students would thrive and succeed academically while also establishing a more open and caring educational environment.
