This study was undertaken to examine the dietary adaptation in Korea, and utilization of university foodservice (UF),according to the nationality of foreign students. The survey was conducted from April to June in 2017, and included 604subjects studying in a university in Busan. The questionnaire was designed to examine the adaptability to Korean food andthe consumption of UF. The nationalities included students from China (63.4%), Vietnam (13.2%), Central Asia (8.9%),Southeast Asia (5.0%), and others (9.4%). Vietnamese and Southeast Asians showed higher adaptation to Korean foodthan Chinese or Central Asians. The degree of contribution of UF to diet was highest amongst the Chinese, followed byVietnamese. The main reason for not consuming UF for the Chinese and Southeast Asians was ‘lack of menu variety’, andfor Central Asians was ‘no menu that can be eaten, including due to religious reasons’. In order to improve UF, all groupsasked for increased ‘variety of menu’, and Vietnamese and Southeast Asians also asked for ‘decrease in price’. In meat, fish,and vegetable menus, there were significant differences in the types and recipes of foods preferred, as per the nationality. These results indicate that different approaches by considering the national characteristics are required, to help internationalstudents adapt to Korean food, and to increase their consumption of UF.
