The purpose of the following study was to determine the connection between international students' English language self-ratings and their perceptions of discrimination based on language, other issues of discrimination, homesickness, intent to persist, and their timetable for return home after graduation. It was hypothesized that students with lower English language self-ratings would have more experiences with discrimination and, in turn, would be more likely to change universities and return to their home nation upon graduation. While five of the eight hypotheses were not supported by the findings, students from non-Western nations had more concerns with discrimination from faculty, domestic students, and other international students. In addition, students with higher self-ratings were more likely to experience discrimination based on language skills and students who called home more often felt more homesick than others. Finally, students who had participated in certain student groups were more likely to stay in the United States after graduation. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher believes research should be conducted into non-Western students' responses, English assistance, and homesickness. Moreover, universities should facilitate more research and promote participation in certain groups based on the findings of this study and previous research findings.
