Sažetak
Mobility among university students is increasingly becoming an integral part of a typical student’s life. As a result of this rise, it is of particular importance to examine how different cultures affect societies. The purpose of this research study was to observe which factors, if any, have an impact on the perceptions of those students who are multicultural and those who are not multicultural. In order to execute the research project, a questionnaire was designed and administrated among students around the world. Students from three countries (Croatia, Australia and USA) were included in the study. This research study aimed to examine how three factors affected students’ perceptions. The first factor was whether the student was multicultural or not. The second was to examine the difference in perceptions depending the student’s cultural background. The last factor dealt with the student’s current country of living.
