Abstract:From the position of an International Student Welfare Adviser at UCL, this article describes research into the effectiveness of previous pre-arrival information made available to new international students, and suggests an alternative structure which replaces general information with a more in-depth package, including online support utilising a number of different technologies. Importantly this allows students to enter into online communities even before their arrival.
