Abstract	The study explores the psychosocial impact of parental absence on international adolescents studying at Parul University. It highlights the rising trend of adolescent migration due to globalization and economic factors, leaving many adolescents to navigate their developmental years without direct parental support. The study aims to assess how international students cope with this absence and the extent to which it affects their emotional health, social life, and academic performance. The research also seeks to identify government policies aimed at supporting international students facing these challenges. A qualitative research approach was used, employing a case study research design to gain in-depth insights into the experiences of international students at Parul University. Data was collected using surveys distributed via Google Forms, with questions covering emotional well-being, social adjustment, academic performance, and coping mechanisms. The study sample consisted of 40 international students from various countries, selected through purposive sampling to ensure the inclusion of individuals directly experiencing parental absence. The findings from the study indicate that parental absence significantly affects the psychosocial well-being of international students. Many respondents reported experiencing loneliness, homesickness, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, language barriers, cultural adaptation difficulties, and lack of immediate parental guidance were common issues. However, a significant number of students also reported increased independence and resilience, suggesting that some adolescents adapt positively to their circumstances. The study emphasizes the need for universities to enhance support services, such as counseling programs, mentorship initiatives, and peer support groups, to help students navigate their academic and personal lives effectively. Additionally, governments and institutions should implement policies aimed at providing holistic support to international students, ensuring that they receive the necessary emotional and academic guidance despite being away from their families.
