About Characteristics and Repatriation Issues of Third Culture Kids
This comprehensive review covers TCK characteristics as established in the literature and the specific repatriation challenges TCKs face at university. Of particular value: survey data from Schulz (1985) documenting what TCKs themselves said they needed most from university reentry programs. Top priorities were: help finding self, introduction to a listening person, updates on American social life, introduction to other TCKs/MKs, adjusting to American lifestyle, and career guidance. The review found few universities explicitly offered special orientation services to TCKs. Available free via University of Minnesota open repository.
