Understanding Culture Shock in International Students

International students travel to other countries hoping to expand both their academic knowledge and their knowledge of the world. Most international students might become overwhelmed with adjusting to even seemingly mild cultural differences, while others may hide their discomfort and attempt to blend in, leading to continued confusion. All international students will feel culture shock at some point and to varying degrees.

ISOC has collaborated with counseling services to discuss what culture shock is and to normalize the confusion that international students may feel. This is a safe space for international students to share and discuss their experiences with culture shock and also hopefully learn how to adapt to and accept the feelings surrounding culture shock
