It has lovely beaches and parks. Perth people are helpful and welcoming. The lifestyle is relaxed and most people enjoy outdoor activities such as sporting events, barbeques and picnics. Living in Perth will be an enjoyable experience for you. We hope that you will be very happy here and be successful with your studies. Most people adapt quickly when they move to another country. However, students do occasionally get homesick when they first arrive in Australia. Homesickness can take many forms and sometimes you may even feel like returning home. You are likely to find life a bit strange and different and perhaps not what you expected. This kind of cultural adjustment can happen to people of any nationality when they live in a new culture. How can you cope with homesickness and cultural adjustment? Firstly by accepting that things are not quite what you expected. As soon as you get used to life in Perth and start to make new friends, you will begin to miss your own country a little less. Discuss your reactions with your family and friends, you’ll be surprised at how understanding they can be – remember that they are probably missing you as much as you are missing them ALEXANDER EDUCATION GROUP•LIVING IN PERTH
