Weekly Mental Health Q&A


November 21, 2005

“I studied abroad last year, and it was a life-changing experience. But ever since I’ve been back, I keep comparing life here to my experiences abroad. I know that my friends are starting to get annoyed. They keep telling me that if I was so happy abroad, I shouldn’t have come back. I guess I still need to talk about my experiences, and process a lot of what I went through.—and my friends are not the ones to hear it. Can I talk through my experiences with someone at SCRS, and try to figure out how to transition back into life at the U of C?”

WHAT SCRS CAN DO:

  • Help you to process all aspects of your experience abroad
  • Help you integrate what you learned from your experiences abroad into your life here at the University

DISCLAIMER: None of the vignettes are based on actual University of Chicago students or specific incidents. The vignettes suggest possible scenarios but do not represent any particular University students. The SCRS maintains a strict confidentiality policy that is outlined our Policies section.
