Key things to do when you land in your dream study destination
Landing in a foreign study destination with a valid visa is a dream come true. The first thing you should do is call back home and then is look for your luggage. Look for a cab or your friend at the airport.
EXCHANGE YOUR CURRENCY WITH COUNTRY’S CURRENCY
Ensure that the foreign exchange card has an adequate balance and that it works.
INTERNATIONAL MOBILE SIM
Ensure that your international mobile SIM is active or get a local SIM.
SET UP A BANK ACCOUNT
You need to find the nearest bank. You will need immigration papers and identification proofs for opening an account.
APPLY FOR A DRIVER’S LICENSE
Driving is one of the most exhilarating experiences, to drive in western countries with the well-paved roads, and excellent connectivity can truly be a joy. The ability to drive to college or work opens new opportunities and possibilities for you.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FREE LANGUAGE TRAINING AND HOST PROGRAMS
Train yourself in English or French – whichever works in the country. This will likely help you socialize with people.
RELATIONSHIP WITH STUDENTS SERVICE DEPARTMENT
Many students feel a bit lost in their new environment. Establish a working relationship with the Student Service Department in the college you are attending. They will guide you through your first steps to full assimilation.
