Coming to the ANU as an International Student is a huge step. Settling in to a new culture, a new institution, and sometimes a new way of learning can be a really testing experience. ANU has a number of programs which can help you prepare for life as a university student.

Going Home

Many international students find peer-support programs are one of the best ways to overcome issues relating to culture shock, homesickness and adjusting to a new life. The Student Information Guidance Network (SIGN) Mentor program sets up small groups of new students with later year students (mentors) who help new students settle in.

 

Volunteering at ANU is a rewarding activity. Get to know your campus, your peers, the student services staff and most of all your university.  Be a part of many social events that we run on campus throughout the year.

Even when the exams are over, there is still work to do. The Going Home program deals with a number of issues which you need to consider before you leave the ANU.
