A Guide to Spring Study Abroad Programs
Why Choose Spring Study Abroad
Besides not missing out on Thanksgiving turkey, there are plenty of reasons to choose the spring semester for study abroad. For those students who opt to head home directly after their program, there are benefits to studying abroad in the spring rather than the fall. Before traveling, many students forget to consider the difficulty of returning home after the semester. You may have heard buzzwords like “reverse culture shock” but struggle to fully understand what that means (and what it can look like in your life).
When you return home, you’ll have new insights, new war stories, a new sense of self. Your perspective of the world and the way you fit in it will be more developed. Sometimes, students don’t even fully recognize the ways they’ve changed until they return to a familiar place. And sometimes, it is tempting to revert to your old ways instead of consciously maintaining your new habits, especially when you must quickly process your past semester while simultaneously preparing for the next.
Returning home in the summer means a soft landing: ample time to transition smoothly and more intentionally. You can kick your reverse culture shock in the butt, while not feeling swamped by the quick turnaround of the academic school year.
