Abstract

As the number of international students across the country has grown over the past decade and continues to grow, it is more important than ever to understand their needs, particularly in terms of hospitality. The purpose of the study was to determine the concerns of international students, perceptions of social needs while studying in Egypt. The study utilized an online survey questionnaire distributed and shared to a random sample of international students enrolled in Egyptian public universities. The survey included an introduction to the researchers with a brief explanation of the purpose of the study, Demographic variables, and the social needs.With analysis of the data gathered online from respondents, the researchers gained a clearer understanding of international students' concerns, perceptions regarding their social needs. The most notable findings were as follows: In general, international students determined high levels of the importance of social needs used in the study. However, there were a significant differences in respondents' ratings of perceived importance of the social needs based on their geographical region of origin. In contrast, differences were not significant among international students based on these demographic variables: gender, marital status, age, and current degree program. Based on the study findings, some recommendations were suggested to stakeholders to provide international students with their perceptions of the social needs and thus increase the universities' abilities to retain those students. There were also some recommendations for further research.
