This study aimed to identify the challenges facing international students at Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah. A qualitative approach consisting of individual interviews with students was used to collect the data. The sample comprised 15 participants aged between 23 and 40 who were studying at various stages of the higher education hierarchy, including di-ploma, bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and doctorate. The disciplines covered were Sharia, Islamic economics, teach-er preparation, jurisprudence, Quran and Sunnah, and applied linguistics. The students’ average stay in Saudi Arabia was five years. Their countries of origin were Guinea, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Central Africa, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Senegal. The results revealed several challenges facing international students, which can be divided into five categories: administrative, educational, economic, personal, and social. Based on these results, the study makes several recommenda-tions for decision-makers, faculty members, and international and Saudi students at Umm Al-Qura University, as well as for Saudi society and future scholars.

This study examines the relation between hope and self-esteem among a sample of Lebanese university students. Hope is one of the important positive variables, and it plays a key role in achieving human adaptation, health, learning and happiness. It can be defined as a positive cognitive feature that leads to motivation, activity, and achievement of goals. As for self-esteem, it is a self-assessment criterion that includes cognitive assessments of self-worth and the emotional experiences associated with these assessments. To achieve the objectives of the study, the Adult Hope Scale, developed by Snyder (1991) and the Self-esteem scale, developed by Rosenberg (1989), both translated into Arabic by Abdel-Khalek (2004) and (2007) respectively, were administered to a sample that consisted of 382 Lebanese university students, of which there were 86 males and 296 females, of age ranging from 18 to 25. Means and SD, t-test to calculate the differences between means, as well Pearson Correlation Coefficients were used in the interpretation of the results. The findings of the study showed that there is a positive significant correlation between hope and self-esteem, and there are no significant differences in hope and self-esteem between male and female university students. The findings were interpreted in the light of previous studies and the social circumstances of the sample in Lebanon.

Also there were no significant differences in CSE and EB Among gifted students attributed to gender and grade. Also there were significant differences at sig (0.01) in CSE among gifted students attributed to the interaction between gender and grade.
