One often overlooked but critical question is: ‘How will you handle cultural adjustment and homesickness?’ Studying abroad involves more than academics\u2014it’s a profound personal transition. Many students underestimate the emotional challenges of adapting to new social norms, language barriers, and being away from support systems.<\/p>\n
