Cultural Acclimation

It is important to read and conduct as much research as possible about the country where you plan to live. Learning about the nation’s culture, customs and people ahead of time can aid you in feeling comfortable in your new place of residence and minimize culture shock.

Libraries, bookstores, tourist bureaus, the Internet, and the U.S. Department of State are good sources of information.

Visit TU’s Study Abroad & Away Office to view their wide variety of travel guidebooks on particular countries. For first-hand insights, contact TU faculty and staff who have previously gone on an exchange visit. They can provide information about daily living practicalities in the host country.
