Abstract
The problems of the new cultural and educational environment are being faced by a rising number of Chinese overseas students attending American universities.Through analyzing the existing literature, this paper reviews and compares the challenges posed by individual and social factors to Chinese international students' American college life. Firstly, in order to study the various components of individual and social issues that contribute to difficulties for Chinese international students integrating into the American campus, this paper first explores six perspectives. Secondly, by comparing the different aspects, the article emphasizes that social challenges should be considered by international education institutions as a more general aspect of challenges. By understanding the impact of different types of challenges on Chinese international students, international education institutions, including U.S. universities and Chinese international schools, can act more directly and accurately which can assist this student population to better integrate into campus life.
