The Challenges of Going Abroad Right After High School
Students must be ready to face numerous challenges when going abroad after high school.
Cultural Shock
Your home country's culture differs from the destination country's. Adjusting to a new culture is the biggest challenge faced by students. Unfamiliar traditions, social norms, food habits, and classroom behavior create a sense of discomfort and make students feel overwhelmed during the initial phase.
Feeling Homesick
Students feel homesick after going abroad because they aren’t mature enough to handle the hurdles of the educational journey and living independently in a new country. They miss the comfort and familiarity of home. The emotional gap and academic pressure demotivate students.
Adapting to a new lifestyle is a task
Going abroad for higher education means starting a new life. Students must adapt to different routines, cultural norms, academic expectations, and social environments. As a result, students become independent and are eager to learn and grow outside their comfort zone.
FOMO
The fear of missing out is a real problem that isn’t discussed and is considered an underrated challenge. Students take the time spent with family, friends, or loved ones for granted. Later, they realize its importance because they are mature enough and experience fear of missing out.
Home-Cooked Food is a Big Miss
Home-cooked food made by mothers can even make a sick person better. Warmth and care, along with tasty home-cooked food, are a major miss for students abroad. It is difficult to find comforting food in an unfamiliar place. The student doesn’t have time for cooking and has to rely on processed food like burgers, fries, and sausages.
