The International Centre also provides a full schedule of trips off campus, offering a trip every second weekend during semester. These trips are very popular, and extremely good value for money, with the cost of each trip covering only the cost of the bus. A number of free and optional activities are arranged, usually at lower cost than you would be able to arrange privately. First try discussing the problems with your classmates. Often other students can explain things to you or show you how to approach a problem.
Staff are willing to listen to students' problems.
All schools and departments have an International Student Adviser or support tutor to whom you could talk about your difficulties. Please ask for more information at the International Office. If you don't have a specific problem, but generally seem to find difficulty in studying, have poor concentration, or are losing interest in your course then see your support tutor or talk with a counsellor from the Student Counselling Service or the International Students Support Person in the International Office at 194 Hillcrest Road. This facility incorporates the health centre, counsellors and the chapel. There is an International Student Adviser working in the International Office who is also a member of the counselling team.
