Challenges Facing Saudi Arabian Student's Housing in Cape Breton

Abstract

This research was selected based on the benefits it would provide. The outcome of this research would be presented to the international students and Cape Breton University and local community in order to fully understand the key housing challenges that Saudi Arabian students face while in the overseas countries. In addition, this research was very important since it gives directions to these challenges, and how various students view and cope with them. It would act as a basis upon which new students can work out their challenges in Cape Breton. The findings of this study show the statistical significance between housing challenges and students’ perception, and their academic success. Most students are confused by housing challenges, and at the expense of their studies. This research adopted a mixed methods approach in order to uncover this needed information to students studying abroad. In conclusion, this research is very useful to show Saudi Students the challenges of housing while attending Cape Breton University.
