Cultural Adjustment
UHH Home > Student Affairs > International Student Services
Adjusting to a new culture and being away from home for an extended period is a difficult transition for anyone. It means facing many new challenges and learning about a community which may be very different from your own. Each person responds differently to these changes. If you have a question about life in this new culture, or if you want to talk about a problem or concern, please come to see us. We are here to help.
Through the International Student Association, we sponsor many activities which provide opportunities for you to meet other students and visit places of interest on the Big Island. Joining these activities is a great way to help make the adjustment to your new life at UH Hilo.
