Chi-Sing Li, Yu-Fen Lin

Abstract
Asian international students face a lot of adjustment issues while pursuing a college degree in the United States. Although they are confronted with different challenges and stress, they underutilize the mental health services. Even if they are willing to come to counseling, there is a tendency for Asian international students to prematurely terminate the service.

Recommendations to college counselors and faculty advisors to support Asian international students are provided in the paper.
