In my 2 yearsyears' voluntary service in university, I worked as a Japanese language tutor and studying counselerstudy counselor for the exchange students from other countries. I found that the language barrier was not the only problem for foreignerforeign students who study in Japan, actually, everythingseverything around them couldcan be the stressor.

First, different food makes them embarrassed. Some food would be too spicy or sour for them. Telling them where areto find western food restaurants is not enough - they need; their dorm room withrooms should have a small kitchen, as they can not go to the restaurantrestaurants for every timemeal.

Another important thing for foreign students is health care. School should provide an immediate medical check and health care when they arrive Japan. From minor stomach ache, to their chronic sickness, many of them worry about the high cost of hospital serviceservices and it makes their symptomsymptoms worse.
