Student Counselling
Student Advice and Counselling Center International Student Counseling Office
Many international students feel homesick and lonely when they leave their hometowns and live far from their families and friends. Starting study and research in a new environment can make them feel anxious and uneasy. Adjusting to a different culture and climate can be difficult. Most anxiety and stress could be caused by these changes of life style. If you have any troubles or worries about your studies, career path, relationship with people around you or cultural differences, please do not take it all on yourself and consult with us. A counselor will listen to you and think about solutions together.
