International higher education especially in a developing country like
Pakistan is very important as it leads to obtain a doctoral degree from a
foreign university. Evidently, higher education is strongly related to
students’ social and cultural background and highly paid employment
opportunities. Using grounded theory (GT) research method, this paper
explores and analyses pull factor, specifically the availability of Halal food
in Malaysia that attracts or pull Pakistani female students to choose
Malaysian public universities for their higher education. Besides, other
factors, including food neophobia, food facilities, its preparation time, cost
and quality, have been found as push factors. However, food festivals and
cooking and eating together have been revealed as positive factors
minimizing the adverse impact of push factors on female doctoral students.
