 My name is Emma Swift. I'm the Associate Director in the Office of International Education. The Office of International Education runs International Student Orientation the week before the start of each semester. It's required for new international students. They have just a little bit more time to arrive on campus, suggest to even just jet lag, do some of those kind of basic things like getting a cell phone, getting a bank account or some of the settling in tasks. We know it's a lot to have to learn and so we use International Student Orientation to help students learn about what's available to them, whether that be tutoring or on-campus job resources, doing undergraduate research, but also understand what some of the rules are around their time in the United States, so whether that be immigration or using your health insurance so that by the time classes start the following Monday, they're ready to go. Orientation also serves a really important function for students to get to meet each other. This fall we had about 200 new international students arriving on campus. It seemed like one of the nicest campuses when I was looking at the different options we had. Because I've never lived anywhere that's not like a big city. I've never been close to like mountains or water. Well I would say to make new friends like freshmen and some old students in the school already. I'd quite like to learn how to stay aboard. The Burlington City is beautiful and is excited to be here. The people here is kind and good. I'm pretty sure that and I'm looking forward to my new life here. Not yet. I was nervous about like meeting my roommate but I'm fine now. I'm kind of scared about classes because it's going to be really different to the UK but I was excited for them.
