W: Good evening! Welcome to our program. Our guest today is Mr. Tennant, who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well, Mr. Tennant, do you think going abroad was the hard part?
M: I don’t think so, but returning back home was really hard.
W: Why?
M: Well, for many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience called Refentry Shock.
W: Refentry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it?
M: For example, many students come to the UK experience freedom they have never enjoyed in their country.
W: Sure, such as freedom from family, from cultural norms they didn’t like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job.
M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their family and culture might not approve of, but students want to enjoy freedom while it lasts.
W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectation of the past.
M: Yes, naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can be resulted.
W: What can be done to minimize this ReSentry Shock?
M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return.
W: What else?
M: Second, have a clear plan of what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Refentry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return.
