| Abstract: | A modified version of Moustakas' (1994) method of analyzing phenomenological data was used to illuminate how full-time, single, Turkish international graduate students conceptualized their experiences as international students. The participants detailed common and salient aspects of their experience: personal growth, decisions regarding participation in the Turkish community, interaction with Americans, future career opportunities, loss of time with family and significant others, the importance of English language skills, and the significance of Turkey's political history. Implications of the study are specifically applied to the practice of university administration, counselors and counselor educators. |
