  ABSTRACT: Since China and Sudan have different cultural backgrounds, internationalstudents from Sudan certainly will have trouble in learning. How can theyimprove their cross-cultural adaptation? By taking the international students in China from Confucius Institute at the University of Khartoum(CIUOFK), and by means of questionnaire survey and interviews, this paper finds that difficulties they have to face in cross-cultural adaptation include living environment, the weather, dietary habits and means of transportation. And thenthis paper has an in-depth exploration of reasons behind these difficultiesfrom four aspects, i.e. living environment, academic environment, interpersonal communication and mental adaptation. In the end,the author suggests that the students should be eased at both universities and individual levels, and also puts forward some pertinent suggestions in terms of those common difficulties for the students.
