This article is a qualitative case study describing the experience of Angélica an international graduate student from Latin America, who received her doctorate at the University of New Mexico in the United States. Her case demonstrated how administrators and faculty learn about the experience and struggles endured by international students, especially those who learned English a short time before admission to graduate studies. While a single case is understandably idiographic in nature and inevitably requires a larger sample, from the analysis of Angélica’s case and the analysis of the relevant literature common topics emerged persuading me to conclude that the issues that commonly impact the life of international students have to do with: 1) second language problems; 2) the quality of academic advisement received; 3) the availability of financial support; 4) the level of integration into their academic program; and 5) the level of cultural adjustment in their host country. Este artículo describe el caso de Angélica, estudiante internacional de origen latinoamericano, quien recibió su doctorado en la Universidad de Nuevo México, Estados Unidos. Su caso muestra cómo los administradores educativos y los profesores pueden aprender de las experiencias y desafíos que los estudiantes internacionales enfrentan, especialmente aquellos que aprendieron inglés poco antes de ser admitidos a sus estudios de posgrado. Aunque un estudio de caso es entendiblemente ideográfico y posiblemente requiere de una muestra más grande, del caso de Angélica y de la revisión de la literatura relevante emergieron categorías comunes, lo que lleva a concluir que la vida de los estudiantes internacionales comúnmente tiene el impacto de cuestiones como: 1) los problemas relacionados con el segundo idioma; 2) la calidad de la asesoría recibida; 3) la disponibilidad de apoyo financiero; 4) el nivel de integración a sus programas académicos; y 5) el nivel de adaptación cultural en el país anfitrión.
