Foreign Students: Cultural Differences

International Students Dept: Like many international students, Meli finds difficulty in adapting to differences in what is acceptable in terms of physical contact, according to Vancouver Sun. These differences can cause foreign students to feel like they don't belong, Meli said and all Sarah Meli wants is a hug. The kind, she says, most Canadians fail to provide.
