The main purpose of this study was to investigate the hardship of adjustment difficulties among a sample of Turkish students studying in the US. Many factors such as age, gender, English language competency, social connectedness, and perceived discrimination were taking under consideration. This study wanted to specifically illustrate the effect of perceived discrimination variables and the levels of difficulties this created for Turkish international students studying in the US. This study was conducted by gathering a total of 239 Turkish international students, (60% men, 40% Women). Majority of information came from the Turkish embassy and Washington Turkish Education Office. The United States is an attractive place to study abroad for Turkish students. With an increase of 10% in 2008-2009 of student arrivals, Turks wanted to see what their young scholars are getting themselves in (Institute of International Education, 2010). Before the study started, students where asked what they believe will be their biggest troubles in successfully completing their studies. Majority replied the lack of English, at the end of the semester they did a follow up. The participants soon realized and quickly showed on the study that English was not the only thing to worry about. The Perceived Discrimination subscales of the Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students was used to measure perceived discrimination levels of students (Sandhu & Asrabadi, 1998). The scale includes eight items that are scored on a Likert five-point scale. This scale ranged from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”. The average was 84% of participants agreed that discrimination was the hardest to cope with. Those participants who had high average of discrimination also had a higher level of psychological distress and higher difficulties with adjustment. Few of the students from the higher % cases failed their programs and had to return home. This
