  2. Social Life (2/16) - how to balance new friends and romantic relationships; navigating forming new relationships when living in a language and culture that are not your own;  getting comfortable; learning social norms; managing expectations; feeling lonely.

Registration required. To join, email [email protected] and [email protected] with "International" in the subject line.
