The importance of knowing the culture and lifestyle of your desired study abroad country is that you do not have to worry about getting embarrassed once you are there. This is a pivotal part of the process of immersing yourself into a new environment and country! As you should expect, the Martinique culture is diverse and unique in its way to your host family. On this guide, we have set information that will open your mind and widen your appreciation of the Martinique culture and lifestyle compactly!

The Martinique are profoundly proud of the amount of cultural heritage they share. The sheer diversity of culture has made for an interesting group of people staying together in one place. From customs to received modernities, the Martinique have accumulated a wide blend of different cultures over the years. For a small country, Martinique has a wide and complex history. Its people are of many religions, sects, histories and political scenes but they are all alike when it comes to the Martinique experience.

Unlike many other Caribbean states who gained independence from European colonizers by the middle of the twentieth century, Martinique is not a country at all, and technically just part of France, much like how Hawaii is just another state of the USA. As a result of this union, Martinique holds exactly the same political status as any other EU member state, and stepping onto the island can offer an overwhelmingly Gallic sensation. One of the most notable events in Martinique’s history was the tragic 1902 volcanic eruption, which is still considered one of the most deadiliest natural disasters in the twentieth century.

Expect some greetings to be quite prolonged when you step here. People often shake hands multiple times, ask many questions, and express their gratitude to see you. Some of the questions asked may seem quite personal in texture. The people usually ask about one's lifestyle to determine their background. This allows them to assess how they should appropriately interact to avoid an offensive conversation. Asking similar questions to a Martinique living in another country could come across as crude.

We hope after reading through this guide you will find a pleasant stay in the warm Arabic nation. Remember the application process to any of its universities is all done and facilitated through RocApply for FREE comrades!
