Once you're here
Settling into a new way of life
Moving away from the familiar surroundings of home to live and study in the UK, you may feel slightly disorientated, homesick and experience a sense of ‘culture shock’.
If you have difficulty concentrating, feel anxious, have a stomach ache or feel unusually tired – these can all be symptoms of your body and mind coming to terms with a new environment.
Don’t worry if this happens to you. We all take time to adjust to fresh surroundings and situations.
