Many universities have a welcome package or guide specifically designed for students abroad. These may be available online, or may be mailed once you have been assigned a place, and should contain helpful information about study preparation abroad and what to expect when you arrive.
This guide may include topics such as options for living, planning medical insurance, paying tuition fees, visa requirements, living expenses budget, part-time work and advice on what comes with it.
There should also be information about the university and how things work there, including important online resources, administrative departments and campus resources - so that all may be less known when you arrive.
Of course, there is more preparation for study abroad than just filling out a visa application and applying for a place in student halls. You may have questions or concerns about other aspects of student life, or you may feel nervous about not knowing anyone when you get there.
To fill these gaps, a growing number of universities are introducing student counseling strategies that begin prior to arrival. This means that future students correspond with current students, who are contacted at the time, usually by email, in the months leading up to the start of the course.
The idea is to make sure that international students feel welcome in the student community before they arrive, and know that there will be at least one friendly face to greet.
