NOTE: Global Adventure Safaris
recommends that students and their families read this section carefully.
Although much of the information provided here is directed toward planning for your overseas experience and issues that may arise while you are away,Global Adventure Safariswould like you to be aware that coming home again is often more stressful than going away. As you read this and plan for your study abroad, you are unlikely to think that this is the case, but experience has shown that “reverse culture shock” exists.
Because you expect to find differences while you are away, you are generally receptive to them, although it is normal to feel “down” a few weeks into your program, after an initial euphoria. Try to be gentle with your parents during this time: they are worried about you anyway, and by the time they receive your letter describing your unhappy state, you will probably already have found your equilibrium. After you reconcile yourself to the way things are and even begin to enjoy them, you have adjusted and will make the best of the situation.
When you study abroad, you are a guest in a foreign country. When you enter a country, you become subject to all its laws, even if you don’t know what they are. For your own safety, it is extremely important that your dress and behavior be appropriate to the norms of the country, the policies and regulations of the institution where you are studying, and the laws of the country.
If you are involved in an illegal activity in a foreign country, the United States government cannot offer you any protection. In particular, penalties for conviction on drug charges can be very severe. (See Drug Use Information Sheet in your acceptance packet.) Additionally, you should not become involved in political activities or demonstrations. Should you encounter legal difficulties, however, you should contact the nearest consulate for assistance. The U.S. consular officer can provide you with a list of local attorneys and contact your family or friends. Consular officials cannot intercede with local authorities on your behalf.
You are also subject to the regulations of the university where you are taking classes. Attendance requirements, course requirements, and grading criteria are determined entirely by the host university. Regular class attendance is mandatory, and travel should be restricted to authorized vacations and periods before and after the academic sessions. The host university takes responsibility for any disciplinary action in connection with violations of its rules and regulations.
There are lots of good reasons to encourage your son or daughter to study abroad. Here are five:
Studying and living in a different culture helps students to see the world from a completely different perspective. It’s an amazing experience that changes lives. Not only do students learn about other cultures; they learn how to view their own culture from a different perspective. They also learn so much about themselves.
While studying abroad, students have new opportunities to form bonds with people around the world. The friendships formed with others while studying abroad can last forever.
Students have the opportunity to not only learn while studying abroad, but to apply what they’ve learned in the work force. In today’s competitive job markets, studying abroad helps students stand out from other applicants.
The only way to truly become fluent in a language is to be immersed in it. If your son or daughter studied a language for several years, and hopes to gain fluency in that language, we can offer you the opportunity. Please note that you are not required to know another language to study abroad.
Studying abroad gives students the opportunity to really learn and understand your host country. Being immersed in a host country’s culture will allow students to experience all aspects of their host country.
