ABSTRACT

Making migration decisions is often difficult. Many international students face the decision twice: when they decide to get a university degree abroad, and when they ponder whether or not they should return to their home countries after graduation or stay in their host countries. For many students, the second decision is a lot more complex than the first, as they are now familiar with both countries and have ties in both places. As a result, they consider a large number of factors in their migration decisions that often pull them into different directions.
