Taking Care of Your Mental Health
Studying abroad is an exciting but also highly demanding experience. As an international student, you are likely facing unique challenges—new environments, different academic expectations, and being far from home. It's important to know that you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed. Research shows that international students often experience higher levels of stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges due to these factors.

We are here to support you with resources that can help you thrive, both academically and emotionally.
