Abstract

Adaptation to new environments is critical to the successful engagement of overseas students with their studies at university. Leaving and studying in places of different societies socially and culturally can have certain social and psychological impacts. Overseas students’ failure to adjust to college and their overseas environment can cause negative consequences: academic stress. This study aims to determine the level of academic stress in overseas students. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach. The sample amounted to 167 overseas students from Eastern Indonesia at various universities in Indonesia. Data collection was done using the student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) Scale. Based on the data analysis, it was obtained that the average overseas student has stress in the moderate category. These results indicate a variation in the stress experienced by overseas students in adjusting to their studies at the university. This research is expected to consider the university to prepare intervention programs that can be applied to overseas students in the first year of their studies.
