Staying in touch with your fellow exchange students and peers you met during your time abroad is very important. These are the people with whom you share many of your experiences and who can relate to the changes you have experienced.

This section will show you some videos of other students who have come back after an experience abroad. The videos portray their reflections about how they felt, their fears and doubts about their future, reintegration, job opportunities, but also their tips on how to cope with problems and how they became stronger.

In fact, storytelling is a strong professional skill and when implemented effectively, it can boost your career in a number of ways and help you translate your study abroad experience to your future employer. Please watch the following videos by students who have been on a study abroad experience.

Listen carefully how they faced problems and try to see what their tips are for combatting the reverse culture shock, and how they transformed as individuals, returning ‘home’ and starting a new life
