Dr Eunice Okorocha did her PhD at the Department of Educational
Studies of The University of Surrey, England. She is the author of
Supervising International Research Students published by Society
for Research into Higher Education.(SRHE) 1st Edition 1997 and 2nd
Edition 2007. Crossing Cultures (2004) published by Transfiguration
Press Abroad. Also Cultural Issues in Working with International
Students (April 2010) and Counselling International Students (April
2010) published by Abramis Academic Publishing. This book is a
research based investigation of the academic, personal, social and
cultural experience of international students. The issues discussed
have remained constant over the years. For instance issues of
communication and learning across cultures will always be relevant
and of great interest to the international students and all who
work with them. Conversely other aspects of the international
student's experience continue to develop. For example with the
widespread use of the internet and mobile phones, communication
with friends and family back home is now much easier. International
Students can feel more at home in their new environment because
familiar foods from their native countries are more accessible than
ever before. However, International Students' fees have increased
greatly, and with the global economic crunch, an ever increasing
number of high quality Universities abroad, and more competition
from European countries for the recruitment of international
students, parents and students now have more choices. It is
therefore important that Institutions are seen to be giving
International students value for money because a satisfied customer
is the best possible marketing agent for acquiring new students.
