ARRIVING AS AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
I
Have a read of some of our international students’ testimonies on settling into law school!
still remember my first week in UNSW Law and it was definitely dauntingstarting law school is already challenging enough on its own, but adapting to a new culture at the same time made it even more so! However, with time it became easier and I slowly became more comfortable with my new academic and personal environment. To incoming international students- don’t fret! There are a myriad of wonderful activities conducted by UNSW Lawsoc that international students can get involved in. The international portfolio organises annual activities to help international students integrate into Australia, while giving them an opportunity to relax and have fun amid the stresses of the academic year. This year, the international portfolio has some exciting events lined up: In Term 1, we will be conducting a Buddy programme which pairs up domestic and overseas students with the aim of encouraging cultural exchange between both parties. There will also be a T1 Welcome Drinks session for international students as well! Other events that we will be running later in the year include barbecues, an online games competition and information sessions in collaboration with other societies- so stay tuned for more updates on those!
