It comes instead from the experience of encountering ways of doing, organizing, perceiving or valuing things which are different from yours&nbsp;and&nbsp;which threaten your basic, unconscious belief that your culture\u2019s customs, assumptions, values and behaviors are \u201cright.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does not strike suddenly or have a single principal cause. It builds up slowly, from a series of small events which are difficult to identify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone will experience a severe case of culture shock, nor see all the symptoms.

Even experienced travelers report its impact every time they arrive someplace new. Simply recognizing it and accepting it is an important step. With a bit of time, effort and patience you will soon find yourself&nbsp;adjusting.&nbsp;As long as&nbsp;you remember that you&nbsp;<em>might&nbsp;<\/em>experience some degree of culture shock,&nbsp;you can prepare yourself mentally to accept it and work to lessen the impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cultural-adjustment-amp-fitting-in\">Cultural Adjustment &amp; Fitting In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is key to understand that adjustment takes time, patience and some understanding of how to deal with the shock of being a foreigner in a new social and cultural setting. But cultural&nbsp;adjustment is almost always something that&nbsp;has to&nbsp;be lived through to be fully understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like international students on U.S. campuses, you may be viewed by locals as part of a group of short-termed guest visitors, treated politely, but often with distancing deference. That deference can be unsettling and cause feelings of not-quite-belonging. Although such feelings may be necessary for growth, they can cause frustration and irritation.&nbsp;However, various activities may be offered to you \u2014 tours of places of cultural interest, social activities, sports, clubs and support services \u2014 all to make your stay enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social customs differ greatly from one country to another. It is difficult to give guidelines that will be applicable for U.S. students in every culture.&nbsp;Generally speaking, you&nbsp;can be yourself&nbsp;as long as&nbsp;you remain courteous and dignified.&nbsp;Being respectful will create allowances for the things not immediately understood or fully accepted. As a guest in someone else\u2019s country, you should behave nearly in the same manner as you would if you were a guest in someone\u2019s home. You should know that it is seldom inappropriate to inquire politely about local customs and social niceties. Learning these customs will help you adjust to and feel more comfortable in your surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-diversity-abroad\">Diversity Abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CIE encourages all students to study&nbsp;abroad, but&nbsp;recognizes that students of varying backgrounds may face unique challenges, as definitions of&nbsp;diversity&nbsp;vary from culture to culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students may encounter a broad range of attitudes regarding diversity issues that may result in stares, comments, or, even worse, blatant prejudice by the host population. Often people in the host country will be curious, and some may ask questions&nbsp;that feel insensitive. Keep in mind that people in other countries have different cultural norms and are often&nbsp;blunter&nbsp;and less \u201cpolitically correct\u201d compared to the U.S. Students are strongly encouraged to research social norms and cultural practices of the host country before leaving to study abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\"><div class=\"uwm-block-otp-nav \"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-8787\"><nav aria-label=\"Sidebar\" class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list uwm-p-navigation-list--gold-border \"><div class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list--title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/students\/study-abroad-handbook\/\">Study Abroad Handbook<\/a><\/div><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/students\/study-abroad-handbook\/academics\/\">Academics<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/students\/study-abroad-handbook\/finances\/\">Finances<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/students\/study-abroad-handbook\/health\/\">Health<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/students\/study-abroad-handbook\/safety\/\">Safety<\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"current\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/students\/study-abroad-handbook\/culture-identity\/\"><span aria-current=\"page\">Culture &amp;
