Returning Students

Welcome Back!

Just as living abroad required you to make a number of adjustments, so does coming home. After all, you're not the same person you were when you went abroad. After spending anywhere from a month to a year living in a different culture, you have absorbed new knowledge and attitudes that have changed you intellectually and personally. While you're trying to find your new niche at home, you may wonder how to build on your study abroad experience. Like many returning students, you may want to immediately start planning to go abroad again or connect with international opportunities on campus and some of you will probably be thinking about how to get the job of your dreams. Whatever you decide to do, we at the Office of Study Abroad are here to help!
