Abstract: Using the hierarchical constraints theory, this study explores the challenges of international students studying at the University of Cape Coast (UCC). The data was collected and analyzed using the qualitative research method. A semi-structured interview was conducted with a purposive sample of twenty-four (24) international students. The majority of the student respondents indicated that they had challenges which were related to academic, accommodation, psychosocial, cultural and financial issues. It is recommended that there should be long term and short-term strategies to minimize all challenges that international students face.
