Abstract

• Returning to Algeria after studying in the UK involves readjusting to a familiar yet changed cultural environment. • Challenges include coping with reverse culture shock and managing family and societal expectations. • Cultural differences impact mental health and well-being. • Experiences of reintegration among Algerian international students (AISs) remain underexplored.
