Short Description

This study investigates the role video games play in international students’ life. This case study explores how two international students - one in UK and one in US perceive video games play in their daily life abroad. We argue that the video game is not only a tool that international students use to spend their causal time, but also part of daily social activities they engage to cope with emotional feelings when study abroad.
