Saying goodbye is hard

saying goodbye

When you first arrive to your host country it might be hard to realize how hard it will be to say goodbye to your new home. As going back home gets closer you will be feeling a lot of different things. Of course you will be happy to go home and see your friends and family again, but at the same time you will feel so sad leaving your new friends.

Spend as much time as possible with your friends and host family during the last weeks and make the best out of it.

What to read next:

Homesick

Everyone exchange student will get homsick, more or less. It is completly normal and nothing weird for an exchange student to get homesick.

Longing back

But after a month you will be back to normal, with usual TV-nights or maybe a night with the computer. It is often then, when you are not doing anything, that you long back to your year as an exchange student.

Culture shock

Culture shock is very common amongst exchange students. You need to be aware that some things are going to be really different from what you are used to in your home country. You will need to accept this.
