Student Support

Your first few days

After a long flight in a confined space it is normal for you to arrive feeling tired. Suffering from sleep deprivation and time zone differences, you may soon show symptoms of arrival fatigue. When you are in this state of mind it is advisable to take things easy so your body and mind can be one again.

When you arrive at your campus, you will be shown food outlets in case you get hungry, communication facilities so you can contact home, washing facilities and advice on personal security to help you settle into your first day. After you have rested and slept off your jet lag, your Student Support Officer-International can discuss with you issues relating to living in your new community. You should take this time to ask questions that will help you become familiar with the new environment.

It is also a good idea to know your way around campus and the city community. For this you will need several companions – Maps! A campus map, city map will get you places.
