Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The study examines how integration gaps and information-environment exposure relate to security-relevant vulnerability indicators among legally resident international students from selected post-Soviet/CIS countries at a private university in Warsaw. RESEARCH RESULTS: The findings show varied integration trajectories. Weaker social embeddedness, limited Polish-language use, perceived exclusion and narrow social or informational environments appeared as vulnerability indicators. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The article treats integration, institutional trust and information-environment resilience as preventive variables in higher education.
