It should come as no surprise that making the decision to study abroad can greatly impact your life. The quality of your post-secondary education, your career opportunities and the number of likes your photos get on social media can all increase as a result of overseas experience. However none of this changes the fact that you will need to adjust after shifting to a new city or country.
Laura Byager recently published a list of tips that helped her cope after moving from Copenhagen to London. She suggests that after moving, you should:
- Be truthful about your feelings
- Remember that you don’t have to do things just to fit it
- Get to know your new surroundings
- Dive into local culture
- Get enough exercise
- Remind yourself why you decided to travel
- Know that it doesn’t have to be forever
