This research paper aimed to describe the adaptation and perception process of foreign students in relation to the culture and the education system at a Public University in Colombia. A qualitative study was carried out with a sample of (7) seven students from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and France. It was found that these processes do not have a exact or permanent ending, taking into account that society, culture, educational model and the university are constantly changing. Consequently, the students had to adapt by learning from the experiences and what others could bring to them. Likewise, students showed to be permeable to the different social problems they might face in the new context, understanding and trying to give an explanation to it, based on their own perceptions.
rent social problems, understanding from their point of view related to their own perceptions.
