Moving to a new country or even a new campus can come with excitement, pressure, and a whole lot of “Why does this feel so hard?” This week, we talk with Dr. Diana Rodriguez Quevedo about culture shock, belonging, and what adjustment really looks like. We bust common myths, name the emotional side of transition, and share ways students can feel more grounded while finding their footing.

TAKEAWAY

Struggling to adjust doesn’t mean you don’t belong, it means you’re human in a new environment. Culture shock is part of the process, and support makes a difference.
