International Students - International Food

By : Utsav Akhoury




International students travel far from home, to universities across the globe, to receive the best education available. Coming to a new place the main change in their lives is food , the basic necessity in life. This sudden change in the taste of the food they eat has a lot of negative impacts on those students.

Some may find the food too bland , or too spicy. Students feel that after paying such a hefty amount to come to the certain university and to be given food that they just are not used to is not fair upon them. This major dislike of the food they are given causes the students to bunk meals from day to day , or spend a lot of their cash on food which they are more used to. This further leads to a build of stress and frustration which shows on a dip in their exam grades. Hence , this problem affects International Students to a big degree. Some colleges do try to create an International Part to their dining halls but even the food made in those parts are really bad.
Some of the International Students , having a special diet , suffer even more.

The College Administration needs to take up this issue seriously so as to provide the international students with the best food, most basic need in life.
