Summary/Abstract: In our research initial motivational factors that drive students to study abroad are categorized and the connection between these motivations and satisfaction with the higher educational institution is explored, with the help of 20 in-depth interviews. The analysis revealed six different groups of motivation: 1) social pressure, 2) cost-efficient education, 3) career building, 4) educational immersion, 5) country specific, and 6) life experience. Those students who thrive to collect life experience and learn about the host country generally handle study abroad difficulties as challenges to be solved, which further increases their satisfaction.
