dc.description.abstractEvery year, more new international students are admitted into Nigerian Universities among which is the University of Ilorin, Ilorin. The good thing about this is the increased international competitiveness and enhanced global rating of the University. However, international students face some communication problems occasioned by cultural differences. Sometimes group separation isolates this category of students from local students, making it harder for them to effectively communicate with each other. On account of this, a study was conducted using 150 students to examine communication experience of international students. Findings vary ranging from the low-level association which 72% claimed to have improved on, to the lack of proficiency in the use of communication symbols (79%), and a remarkable difference in culture (54%). The study recommends among other things, the need for international students to increase interaction thereby, bridging culture boundaries that impede effective communication and interaction between them and their domestic counterpartsen_US
