Returning from Off-Campus Study

Program Evaluations

Please be aware students are expected to complete and submit the Grinnell Off-Campus Study Program Evaluation after their program ends. An email will be sent with a link to it. Your feedback is valuable to our office and other students and we appreciate your assistance.

Re-Entry

You might find re-adjusting to campus or home more difficult than your semester off-campus. However, re-entry is different for everyone. It is a time of personal growth and change. Some students find their relationships with family and friends have changed. We encourage you to reflect and recognize - and celebrate - your new knowledge and skills. Below are a list of resources for you to explore:
 

• The 6 Stages You Go Through After Returning From Study Abroad
• 10 Tips for When You're Feeling Depressed After Studying Abroad discusses the distinction between reverse culture shock and depression. Reach out to SHAW if you feel you need help coping.
• Middlebury College has an excellent list of re-entry resources.

Please make an appointment with a Global Envoy peer adviser or staff member if you would like to discuss your experience or program with us. You can email ocsappt@grinnell.edu or set up an appointment at  https://calendly.com/globalenvoy/30min.
