Child-nodes | Number of files | Number of references | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
Experience particular treatment | 12 | 15 | “I just want to be treated fairly, just like any Chinese student. I don’t want to be above or beyond. Equality is important to me. I don’t want to be given any preferential treatment simply because I’m a foreigner.” |
Be involved in social interaction | 15 | 30 | “I socialize a lot more with Chinese, and I think my social life is pretty good.” |
Have a good relationship with people | 21 | 30 | “Whenever you encountered a teacher, they would always be really nice. They would greet you, ask about your day, and make small talk with you, which was really nice.” |
Perceive support from universities | 27 | 42 | “Sometimes, I engage in activities organized by the International Student Office (ISO), which is responsible for managing all the foreign students. They are helpful and can assist with purchasing certain items.” |
Participate in cultural and physical activities | 21 | 36 | “I have participated in the SICA activities sometimes. It’s basically a Chinese corner activity, but it goes beyond just practicing the Chinese language. It also offers opportunities to learn about Chinese culture, festivals, and other related aspects.” |
