Also called “reentry,” reverse culture shock is the reaction to returning back home after experiencing another culture and is common among students who study abroad. Most study abroad programs prepare their student for culture shock, providing them with resources and information on how to adapt to a new culture away from your life back home. However, what students should be most worried about is the thoughts of disconnect and depression when returning home.
During the exchanges I have had with students that have been on preview or who have studied abroad I’ve learned a few traveling tips that might be helpful to all who plan to travel in the future.
