Nobel Akademik Yayıncılık International Students’ Adjustment Challenges

Studying as an international student and living in a multicultural environment bring enormous opportunities and learning. A better education, a prestigious life, scholarship options, the option to learn a new language and to know about a different culture undoubtedly make studying abroad an attractive offer. On the other hand, leaving the country where one grew up and getting used to its culture, people, and way of living; is not an easy decision to make. As humans, we need to adjust to the environment that we are part of. When we change our living space, we may realize the new environment has different requirements than what we used to practice or wish to do. To avoid feeling like outsiders, we need to adjust to the new conditions without sacrificing our mental health. In the same way, encountering novel conditions can cause a feeling of disappointment, discouragement, or regret. The truth is, my friends, these are all part of the process, don't worry!
