Driven by different motivations, the number of foreign students come to China is also on the rise. This paper address that the original motivation of exchange students exert an influence on the continuous improvement of their social adaptability in China, which will affect their future planning after graduation. Method is employed to macroscopically analyze the original motivation of foreign students, compare the differences in the development plans of foreign students after completing the established studies, and finally explore the influence of social adaptability on original motivation. Based on the obtained research, the following conclusion can be drawn that most exchange students in China are more likely to stay in China for further study or start their career than to return to their hometown after finishing their established study career. This study provides some ideas for improving the exchange student policy. In order to better promote the cultivation of international talents, the exchange student policy should make up for the shortage of preparatory work before they begin multinational study. Moreover, improve the guidance of career development in China after graduation. It is aimed to establish more well-developed service system including the study and employment for exchange students in China.
