Sure, you're glad to be back in your own bed, reunited with your friends, and frequenting your favorite spots again. But returning home from study abroad can be a challenge too! Familiar places, people, and activities suddenly seem... different. Have they changed, or have you? This interactive, three-part workshop is a place to learn about "reverse culture shock" and other common difficulties returning students face. Participants will be invited to continue with our ongoing group, "Back in Boulder," after the end of this workshop.
