ON-CAMPUS RESOURCES
“WHAT ELSE DO YOU OFFER?”
You’re paying a lot of money for your education – let’s make the
best use of it. Your school has a TON of resources that you can take
advantage of. To start off, attend as many orientations as you can.
This will help you get an idea of everything your university offers.
On-campus resources include help with finding jobs/internships,
athletics and sports, bookstores, counselling center, etc.
You might have a gym and recreational center in your university that
offers you free membership during your matriculation (time that you’re
actively and eligibly enrolled in classes) there. There might even be classes
at really good student rates such as dance, swimming, martial arts, spin
classes and so on.
The university will hold many workshops during the year – career
fairs, lawyer workshops (to help understand visa status) that are very
useful for us, networking events, and many more. Keep an eye out
for bulletin boards around your school because you really never know
where you might find something that would be awesome for you!
Check the school website regularly for updates and go through the
e-mails that you receive from them too.
If you have a question about resources or if you want to find
out what else they have to offer, just go into your international
student office and ask.
