What to Know About US Culture

Coming down with a case of culture shock is something that international students can expect while studying in the US. Culture shock can be described as an anxious, confused feeling that you get when you’re constantly exposed to a culture that’s new to you. Some cases of culture shock are worse than others. To help ease feelings of isolation and homesickness, you may want to start learning about US culture before you start studying there. You may be surprised how different life is in the US than the way it appears in a Hollywood movie. Join us for our next livestream on Thursday, August 12 at 11 AM EDT to get familiar with aspects of US culture like the cuisine and social norms. You can watch this livestream on either our Facebook page or YouTube channel at the time it starts. If you’ll be joining us, don’t forget to RSVP through the link below.
