This article is a report of the continuation of earlier research on the adaptation of international students, carried out by the author in the framework of community psychology. The present article is focusing on the issue of differences between systems of support for Japanese students going to study abroad as presented by host institutions and their perception by students participating in these systems. The remarkable difference, confirmed in this study, between the view of host institutions and students’ perceptions indicates the need for interventions for the purpose of improvement of student well-being and such interventions require good understanding of the source of the problem. Community psychology provided good methodological tools for such analysis.
