Abstract

This paper aims to examine the relationships between cultural adaptation and financial (internal or external) constraints and students’ mobility to study in Borneo with special reference to UiTM. The results of correlation and path analyses have shown that cultural adaptation is positively related to students’ mobility with beta values β = 0.495, t-value = 10.26, p<0.01. Therefore, hypothesis (H1) of the study is accepted. The result equally established a positive relationship between external financial constraints and student mobility with β values = 0.05, but it is not significant as p>0.05. Therefore, hypothesis (H3) of the study is rejected. However, in this study, the results also confirmed that a negative relationship exists between internal financial constraints and students’ mobility to Borneo with β = -0.187, t-value = -3.95, p<0.01. Therefore, hypothesis (H2) is accepted as postulated in the study.
