Summary/Abstract: In this article we brought into attention the status of foreign students from the preparatory year, and also some issues regarding their capacity of integration into the Romanian social, cultural and linguistically space, without missing the aspects concerning the difficulties related to the integration of the foreign students in the new environment. Therefore, the problem that most foreign students face is that of the Romanian language barrier. Thus, it was concluded that the need for Romanian language courses is imperative, because the language allows access to all areas of daily life of the student residents in Romania. Consequently, we want to highlight the reality that, the lack of knowledge of the Romanian language of the foreign students, their impossibility of communicating or understanding the message of the written texts, leads to the absence of the informational support regarding the rights and obligations or services to which they can access. The lack of information, the linguistic and cultural barriers they face lead to the non-accession of rights and the inefficiency of the integration programs.
