Culture shock is the personal disorientation someone feels when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life. Individuals in a foreign environment can experience culture shock due to differences between their home culture and the new culture. Common causes of culture shock include educational differences, social differences, and physical and emotional reactions to the stresses of a new culture like tiredness, homesickness, anxiety, and depression. However, living in a new culture is a privilege that provides important and enriching experiences, and while students may struggle initially, looking back most see it as very beneficial.
