Abstract	This article reports the results of a qualitative study of 12 graduate international students' struggles to adapt to new multicultural and academic environments. The focus is on how they dealt with diversity while struggling to succeed academically and how, although experiencing numerous disorienting dilemmas, students did not critically reflect on their meaning-making processes. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided).
