Undertaking study, especially in a new city or country, is an exciting time. There are some things you can do ahead of time to be ready and make sure you settle in to your new environment.
Whether you are an international student travelling to Sydney from overseas, or a domestic student making the transition to university life, we have information and support services available to help you settle in.
If you have any questions about how to prepare for life in Sydney or at university, you can speak with one of our Peer Support Advisors who are current University students.
