A7 - As hard as it may be, international students need to put themselves out there. Get involved in school clubs/events, join community clubs, just networking in general. Younger students can be supported in this by their host families #includEDau

A6 - I feel like one of the main issues might be different teaching and learning methods. A lot of schools in Asian countries still use rote learning methods, and those students may not be used to inquiry-based learning #includEDau

A5 - I think I'm a bit of a pessimist sometimes, when it comes to changing stereotypes. The media and entertainment industries are constantly perpetuating these, unintentionally doing more harm than good #includEDau
A4 - If possible, perhaps finding a local student who can speak the same language #includEDau
A3 - I imagine finances may also be an issue. They don't exactly have parents (if young) on hand, and I believe there are work restrictions on their study visas #includEDau

A1 - I went to high school with lots of international students. I think most came from China. Would definitely have been some at uni, but I didn't befriend them. My school currently has international students, two of which are in my classes #includEDau

Once kids not only hear that you believe in them, but feel it too, there is no stopping them.
