Education Abroad Center
Welcome Home!

We hope that you had a memorable and amazing experience abroad. Chances are that you're wondering what to do with yourself now that you're back. We in the EAC are dedicated to continuing to provide services and resources that support your academic, professional, and personal development.

Returnee Support
Reverse culture shock is a very common reaction for students coming home from studying abroad. It can be described as that unsettling feeling students often experience as they are readjusting to their "old life." One student's reactions may differ from that of another but can include one or more of the following:

  • Restlessness
  • Boredom
  • Changes in life goals and priorities
  • Reverse homesickness
  • Negativity towards the US, including behavior, attitudes and customs
  • Frustration that you can't express your experience

We have anticipated these common reentry reactions and offer students the following support in order to address readjustment issues.

Be Prepared for Culture Shock
We offer these resources as places where you can find out more about the re-entry process.
