EP06: International Students - Why is the reality of studying overseas contrary to my expectations?
In today’s episode of the WHY in your 20s, we are sharing our expectations and experiences as international students. Transitioning from high school to university in your 20s can be scary, overwhelming and challenging, let alone moving to a new country and being far away from your support system. In this episode, you will hear us sharing our experiences on…
What are some of our firsts? First week upon arrival? First friends? First homesick?
How long did it take for us to feel a sense of belonging?
What were our expectations on studying overseas? Did the experience match those expectations?
What were our biggest challenges/toughest times?
What were the positive moments?
Would we do things differently if we could go back in time?
If you are currently studying overseas and feeling a bit overwhelmed, hopefully this episode can give you some comfort and know you’re not alone:) Hang in there:)
