It is similar to the finding of another research having the same field (Kwadzo, 2014). Time management becomes the main determiner of the success in being a part-time-worker student.…”

“…Causes such as cultural shock, lack of social support, language and communication-based barriers, longing for the country, and the feeling of loneliness can be considered as the main reasons for the problems of refugee students (Almurideef, 2016). Negative situations such as stress, physical pressure, feeling of exclusion, role confusion, and frustration experienced by refugee students (Kwadzo, 2014) may adversely affect the level of academic achievement, attendance, class adaptation, and social life of these students and make classroom management difficult for teachers. Instead of trying to solve all the problems at once with a magic classroom management strategy, what teachers need to do is to put the problems in order of importance and apply more realistic classroom management strategies.…”

“…Currently, more and more international students are coming to Indonesia with various purposes, but the biggest one is to learn about Indonesian language and culture, and to take part in internships at various institutions and companies in Indonesia [1]. However, many international students who take part in activities in Indonesia also face acculturation stressors including emotional and dysfunctional stresses such as rejection, drug use, self-blame, and escape [2].
