Leaving Home

Going abroad for a study experience either as an exchange or full time student is an adventure to look forward to.

However you should be prepared for the fact that itf can also be disorienting after the initial excitement when you start to discover aspects of life in the country that you find strange or make you feel homesick. Remember however that you are not the only one feeling this way.

It is normal for most students to have these feelings at some point during their stay.

You should speak to the International Office at your institution about any difficulties you are experiencing and they will be able to help you out.
