Abstract

This study provides a more in-depth understanding of the Nepali students’ specific needs and obstacles in achieving happiness and success in both academic and social areas of their lives during their time in Australia. Data was collected via in-depth interviews and field notes taking into consideration the two research questions: 1) What academic and social successes and challenges do Nepali students experience as learners at an Australian university? 2) How can these experiences be explained through the threshold concepts theory?</p
