It’s a Small World …..most Universities have designated international departments responsible for recruitment and marketing, the administration associated with processing applications and the orientation and continued pastoral care of international students. Consequently it would seem appropriate that once international students have been attracted to a University, initiatives would be undertaken to ensure that the student has an enjoyable learning experience Indeed it has been suggested that institutions should provide “holistic support services for (international) students” (Jennings 2001, p50) (Barron, 2005, p356)
