The current study aimed to identify the relative contribution of nostalgia as a predictor of academic performance among university students studying abroad, and to identify the differences between university students studying abroad in England and those studying abroad in Canada. The study followed a descriptive-comparative correlational approach. The study sample consisted of (200) students, divided into (100) students studying abroad in England and (100) students studying abroad in Canada. The nostalgia and academic performance scales (Prepared by The Researchers) were applied. The results revealed a positive correlation between nostalgia and academic performance. No differences were also found among the students in the study sample on the nostalgia and academic performance scales. The study concluded that nostalgia can predict academic performance.
