Adjusting to life in Brisbane |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  |
When students first leave home for overseas study, they experience a period of adjustment. They have to find their way around, locate accommodation, get used to new foods, understand the different custom and the way things are organised. This process of adjusting to a new place and society is often called "culture shock". It is a perfectly natural experience for just about everyone when they move to a new country. Below is a simple diagram on how most students experience life in a foreign country during the first few months.
Acknowledgement: AusAID While some may take a few weeks to adjust, some may take months before they are comfortable with the new environment. Remember if you need any assistance or if you are feeling lost and down, make an appointment to speak to one of our International Student Adviser at ISS.
