A Final Note

We know we’ve given you plenty to think about and hope that you will enjoy your time in London. Don’t be surprised if and when you find yourself going through some form of culture shock. Everyone feels the shock to their system at some point, and some feel it more than others. Fatigue, sadness, frustration, sleeplessness are just a few of the symptoms - and this is normal. Don’t let the symptoms themselves get you down.

Please come see a member of the EUSA team to talk through any troubling issues you may have. With several Americans on staff in London, there will certainly be someone who understands exactly what you’re going through!

Remember to find the time to reflect on your own experience - write a journal, take a walk through the park, find a running partner and explore the various neighbourhoods of the city, or just spend some quiet time in a coffee shop. Imagine what life will be like six months from now when you’re back in the US - what kind of stories will you be telling?
