In addition, balancing school and personal life with other student interactions and activities can add more unfamiliarity and pressure. But balancing your personal needs and new cultural experiences doesn't have to be overwhelming.   Finding your ground   It’s important to know your own wants and needs—physical and emotional—to avoid unnecessary stress and fatigue that could [...]

Would I be stared at? Would I face microaggressions? Would I [...]
