The phenomenon of Chinese students studying abroad in western countries has been an interest of researchers in the field of psychology in the past decade. Numerous studies have been conducted that presented negative aspects of international students’ experiences while studying abroad. Specifically, with Chinese international students, researchers found and examined their acculturation difficulties, academic challenges or psychological distress. However, few studies have investigated the other side of the story—Chinese international students’ positive experiences. This study aimed to present a more comprehensive picture of Chinese international students’ life through the exploration and understanding of their positive transformations during their stay in the United States. Participants were five Chinese international students who were enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs; they were born and raised in different cities in mainland China and were studying in different institutions in the United States. Using a qualitative, phenomenological research method, the researcher conducted individual, semi-structured interviews with the participants to examine this phenomenon from their perspectives. Specifically, the researcher invited the participants to identify their positive transformations and inquired about their process of undergoing these transformations, contributing factors to these transformations, and their current attitude regarding them. Findings of this study indicated that participants have experienced various positive transformations while studying in the United States. Most participants reported experiencing significant shifts in their perceptions and behaviors in relating to themselves, others, and the world that resulted in a more open and flexible attitude while acknowledging the limitations in their situated contexts.
