WIP: East Asia Computer Science Students' Experiences Studying in Europe

This Research-to-Practice WIP paper investigates how East Asian students studying in Sweden encounter various challenges. We discuss the discrepancy between our and previous findings and give recommendations. Background: Moving to and studying in a new country that is culturally different from their home country presents many challenges related to cultural differences to students. Intended Outcomes: This research aims to offer insights into how East Asian students adapt their learning strategies in Sweden and suggest how the university can support their lives and studies. Research Design: Six students were interviewed about their experiences studying in Sweden compared to studying at their home universities. Content analysis was performed to identify areas of interest. Findings: We report initial findings specifically related to academic and sociocultural issues.
