Abstract

Today, as student mobility in higher education is increasing, university environments are hosting more students with different races, cultures and backgrounds. Because the structure of universities is mostly designed in accordance with the culture of white students, white students are generally not very interested in the issues of differences and their general perception of differences is low. However, African-origin black students, who have had an experience of differences in a period of their lives, are more interested in issues related to differences and their general perception of the differences they experience in the campus environment is higher. The aim of this study is to reveal the challenges and opportunities arising from being in an international educational environment and to try to understand students' perceptions of differences. For this purpose, at an international university in Turkey, which has increasingly been the scene of differences, 192 students' perceptions related to differences were measured via questionnaires and the results were analyzed.
