Abstract
The paper aims to examine the factors, which influence the decision of
international students regarding the selection of a host country for higher
education. Push-pull model has been used to examine the relationship
between country-based pull factors and students’ decision to study abroad.
Additionally, this study also investigates the influence of push-pull factors
on students’ satisfaction over the decision of foreign study. Research
participants were international students from five universities in Thailand.
Using the quantitative research method, online questionnaires were
distributed through email and social media and personal visits were also
made by authors. The findings suggest that country-based three pull factors
(awareness of host country, cost issue, and environment of host country)
showed a significant relationship with students’ decision-making to study
abroad. Conversely, results also show that pull factors influence students’
satisfaction over the decision to study abroad.
