The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to examine how African international students describe their lived validation experiences with academic advising and cultural adjustment in one Midwestern community college. It was not known how African international students experience validation with academic advising and cultural adjustment in one Midwestern community college The study is focused on academic validation and cultural adjustment theories. Purposeful sampling provided the study with available rich information. Eleven African international students who fulfilled the criteria were recruited from Six African countries, namely the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, Somalia, and Togo. The data in this research was collected only from an interview. The interview was semi-structured, open-ended interview questions for 90-100 minutes that addressed African international students' descriptions about their lived validation experiences with academic advising and cultural adjustment. The analysis followed the five steps of Georgi's phenomenological analysis. Bracketing has taken place, a thorough reading of text made, meaning units were delineated, the transformation of the meaning units into sensitive statements of their lived- meanings were made and synthesized. The study has provided results that revealed academic advising was not to standard expectations, students were not validated, the adjustment was difficult, and ostracism has been practiced and manifested through hate, indifference, carelessness, exclusion, harassment, and bullying.
