PRE & POST DEPARTURE GUIDE

Pre Departure and After Arrival Support

Feeling Nervous Before You Travel? We’ve Got You Covered.

Getting ready to take off on your study abroad journey? We understand it can feel a little overwhelming — but don’t worry, Worldwise Consultants is here to support you every step of the way.

To help you settle in with confidence, we host regular pre-departure sessions designed to prepare you for everything that comes next — from airport to classroom and beyond.

What Should You Pack?

Based on real experiences from students already abroad, we’ll share practical tips to help you pack smart and stay organized. Knowing what to carry (and what not to) can save you time and stress once you arrive.

Arrival Guidance

Wondering what happens when you land in your new country?

Our team will walk you through everything — immigration checks, customs, baggage, and how to reach your university campus smoothly and safely.

Banking & Managing Your Money

Opening a local bank account is essential. It helps you easily manage tuition payments, accommodation, and daily expenses — plus, if you plan to work part-time, your employer can pay you directly.

We’ll guide you on what documents you need and how to open an account quickly after arrival.

Adjusting to a New Culture

Every country has its own way of life. Our counselors will brief you on what to expect — including local customs, social behavior, and even useful local phrases — so you can settle in more comfortably and make new friends faster.

Understanding Student Life

Our sessions will help you understand classroom environments abroad — from learning styles and academic expectations to how lectures, assignments, and group work typically run.

Culture Adjustment & Coping with Culture Shock

Moving to a completely new culture can be exciting but also challenging. You may go through stages like honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and acceptance — and that’s normal.

We’ll talk you through these stages and share easy ways to manage cultural transitions confidently.

Working While Studying

Yes, you may be allowed to work part-time during your studies!

We’ll guide you on the rules of your student visa and share tips on how to find part-time work that fits your schedule and supports your living expenses.

Handling Homesickness

Missing home is natural — and we get it.

Our counselors will share proven tips to manage homesickness and help you stay emotionally balanced while adjusting to life in a new country.

Building Your Network

During our sessions, you’ll have a chance to:

  • Connect with alumni
  • Talk to students already studying abroad
  • Ask questions, share concerns, and build your support network before even leaving home
