With China's development, an increasing number of foreign students are choosing to pursue their studies in China. However, these students face linguistic, cultural, and academic challenges that complicate their integration. The theory of symbolic interactionism offers a framework for understanding the adaptation process, viewing language not merely as a communication tool but as a crucial symbol of social belonging and identity. Language barriers and cultural differences contribute to the formation of a "marginalized student" identity, intensifying the sense of isolation. This study suggests that Chinese universities develop inclusive support systems, including academic language training, cultural exchange opportunities, and psychological assistance, to facilitate the adaptation of international students and foster a harmonious academic environment.
