Abstract

Interstate students traveling from different parts of the globe for better education face challenges in adapting to the host culture. The researchers decided to take up this study to uncover the acculturation experiences of interstate student immigrants of Jammu and Kashmir at Selected University, Chennai. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 15 interstate migrant students. Thematic analysis was used to explore the four main questions of student happiness, challenges with adaptation, methods for overcoming obstacles, and variations in acculturation according to the year of study. The study concluded that interstate students go through various blindfolded challenges regarding adapting. It also highlighted that supportive strategies they employ to overcome the challenges along with adaptive physical facilities will improve the students' overall outcome.
