Returning to Campus

You鈥檙e Back in the U.S. - Now What?

Just because you are no longer living and studying abroad, does not mean that your intercultural experiences are over. However, the transition to returning home and back to campus can be challenging and often catches students off guard.

While you might have expected your host country to be different and require some adjustment, you may not have considered how your own family, friends, city and country might now appear differently now that you have had your experiences abroad.

There are many resources to help you navigate the re-entry process from managing the adjustment back to engaging in intercultural events on campus to considering how you might live abroad again.
