Calling All International Students!
Meet new people from around the globe, make new friends and have fun at your new home away from home.
You’ll meet people who understand the challenges of adjusting to a new country, culture, and academic system, and can share stories of how you are adapting to British culture!☕🎡
Meeting people who understand what it’s like to be far from home can reduce feelings of loneliness and homesickness, making your transition to university life easier.🏫🫶
We would love it if you dress in a traditional outfit but wear whatever feels comfortable. There will be a prize for 'Best traditional outfit'!
Enjoy free refreshments, fun icebreakers designed to help you connect with students from the International community 🥤🥨
Can't wait to see you there!
