Introduction

To help you make the transition to home or your home institution, The Center for Global Education has compiled resources that are meant to help you prepare before you go and help you adjust once you are there. We hope that reflecting on your experience spending the last semester elsewhere, and thinking about your expectations of home or your home institution, will help make this a smooth relocation for you.
