SIT study abroad provides a comprehensive guide to prepare students for their transition back home and it is a resource that our office highly recommends students check out.
When you return to campus, we will provide more information on how to adjust.

Conferences

While all the lessons you learned during your time abroad are fresh in your mind, now is a good time to start reflecting on your new skills! Did you become more proficient in another language? Did this experience develop perseverance and your ability to function outside your comfort zone? Start writing down some ideas!
Could you create an online portfolio or blog which highlight these qualities?
Resume tip: Market applicable coursework through Education section.
Start thinking about any qualities you now possess—self-motivation, cultural sensitivity, adaptability, responsibility, maturity, etc.
