The study used an online survey to examine students’perceptions. Data were collected voluntarily from 49 students taking part in service-learning project linked to empower people in rural areas, using open-ended questions. The results show various issues such as cultures, arts, diversity, environment, public health, and food security needed to be addressed in the program.With regards to the international service-learning, the students valued positively the program’s nature and raised some concerns including distance, cost, and cultural differences. The implementation of domestic community service may lack of preparation and clear instructions.
