I started my PhD abroad a month ago and I’m already struggling to stay motivated. How do other international students stay motivated while pursuing their PhD in a foreign country?
Hey you can start by thinking why you started in the first place, try talking to your peers abroad too!
It’s totally normal to feel that way! PhDs are a marathon, not a sprint, and the initial adjustment to a new country and academic system can be overwhelming. What’s been getting you down specifically?
