Australia, the land down under is known as the world's third most popular study abroad destination—and for good reason. It offers a unique opportunity for foreign students to obtain world-class education, and work during and post-studying, and it has some of the most stunning landscapes on earth welcoming you. Australian institutions and its degrees are highly sought out by recruiters to promote to their Students, as well.

In today's digital age, assistance comes in the form of education marketplace website platforms like Educonnect. This platform not only helps you identify the course of your liking, it also helps you connect and apply directly to the top universities and institutions of your choice.

Here are a few points that you should look out for in terms of international student support from the choice of your institutions.

College mixers or meet and greets:

You are beginning a new college year and it's like you're entering a new chapter in your life. And what better way to enter this chapter with the help of new friends. This meet-and-greet will help you do just that. It's a good ice-breaker to meet new friends as you step into a new year full of classes, pre-seminars and course schedules. Most Australian universities and institutions hold a meet and greet even before you start your course. So when you enroll at your preferred university or institutions, ask for their meet and greet session.

Pre-departure briefings

These briefings are held for a number of countries for both parents and students. These briefings will help you better understand the university or institutions education system and how best to adapt to it. The briefing will give you advice on various topics such as accommodation and where best to live, whom to contact when feeling unsafe, and about jobs when studying.

The briefing may also provide the opportunities to connect with current students who can talk about their life in Australia and how best to address cultural differences. You can also learn how best to be connected to the university's or institutions programs and community.

Pre-arrival packs

Most universities and institutions have a pre-arrival pack or guide designed for all international students, usually sent by email or available online. The pack will contain useful information about how to prepare for your study abroad and what exactly you can expect when you arrive.

The guide will be useful as they cover topics such as visa requirements, health insurance, tuition payment options, how to live on a budget while studying and advice on finding a part-time job and managing your studies with it.

Apart from this, there should be a little information about the university or institutions and its administration process and Student support services. All this is to ensure that youwill be supported during your journey all the way from pre-departure to enrolments and your study journey.
