Culture Shock Of Overseas Students In Jatinangor In Intercultural Communication Perspective

The movement of an individual to a new place or area will create a sense of discomfort especially if the new place is different in the value of social and cultural values. The sense of discomfort can be categorized into a cultural shock that is an illness related to occupation suffered by people who suddenly move or are moved into a new environment. Culture Shock or local cultural unfamiliarity is a problem that often affects someone who is in a foreign country. The type of this research is descriptive research with qualitative data conducted with the aim to describe the objects and phenomena associated with the process of adaptation of students outside Java in interacting with the social environment inJatinangor. The result of intercultural communication change can take the form of acculturation or assimilation. If acculturation happens then the two cultures will not disappear and will grow side by side while if assimilation happens then cultural renewal will happen. It will lose both cultures and form a new culture. The results of our analysis is seeing the vast majority of cultural backgrounds in Unpad and we know thatit is even formed a community of students with the culture of origin without forgetting to learn and appreciate the culture of origin.
