Living overseas is not easy to adjust to the new environment. Students who cannot adjust overseas tend to feel sad because they need to adjust to the culture in their new environment. This will certainly have an impact on the psychological well-being of overseas students, because not all of them are able to face these demands. Not a few of them feel lonely and alone.
