When I Come Back
The entire experience of traveling internationally, speaking in a different language for weeks, and possibly living with host families or roommates may be substantially different from your life at home. Most likely, when returning from studying abroad, you will be expected to jump back into your daily routine of school, work, family, and social obligations. But you will also dealing with the excitement of what you have learned and seen abroad as well as how you changed through the experience. Several web resources on how to cope with returning back to your routine and life in New York are highlighted. In addition, CUNY offers an annual study abroad reentry conference to highlight the importance of education abroad in students' academic, professional, and personal development. You can also reach out to your home college study abroad office or international education liaison with feedback about the program and any ideas you have about assisting other students with preparing to study abroad or doing presentations about your experience.
