dc.description.abstractOver the past decades, the internationalization of higher education has become a significant global trend, with countries like Kazakhstan developing policies to attract international students. However, studies indicate that international students encounter myriad challenges in their adjustment process which sometimes hinder them from achieving their dream academic goals. Using an autoethnographic perspective, I explored the challenges I have encountered with my dietary habits adjustment as an international student studying in an unfamiliar cultural and geographical context. I highlighted the causes of my dietary adjustment challenge, which primarily stem from the unavailability of familiar food ingredients. I also highlighted the overall effect this adjustment challenge has had on me and the strategies I have employed to mitigate the challenges and the effects of the challenges. Since food is a basic necessity for humans, fulfilling not only biological needs but also social and psychological ones, prioritizing the dietary adjustment of international students is crucial. I, therefore, recommended an intervention that can be implemented to mitigate the dietary adjustment challenges faced by international students
