It may be that for that when you first arrive in the UK your lessons will be delivered on line, with face to face teaching gradually introduced.
If this is the case make sure that you give yourself a break from your “screen” at regular intervals.
This is really important for your mental health as well as you eyes, and is a good habit to get into.
Settling into a new way of life in the UK at college may not always be easy and it may be the case that at first you feel home sick. This is quite normal and you will not be the only person feeling like this. Being away from your friends and family can be hard to cope with but if you feel upset or sad please let someone know. Talk to the staff at college or College Guardians. It’s quite usual to feel like this and these feelings will pass as you adapt to your new environment.
Make sure that you keep in-touch with your family and friends at home. They will want to know how you are and will understand that you are missing them .We very much hope that you will find many new experiences and make long lasting friendships during your stay in the UK.
Depending on where you are studying your transportation to your college will be different:
· You may be arriving with your parents who will be dropping you off at college
· Your college may have arranged transport to meet you at the airport
· You may have asked College Guardians to arrange transport to take you to college
Whatever your plans are you should have been given details of where and how to find your driver / transport. If you have any problems please let either you college or College Guardians know. DO NOT go off with anyone if you are not sure who they are.
Please ensure that you keep your passport and other travel documents safe until you arrive at your destinations. If you already have a UK mobile please switch it on at this time, making sure that it has been charged before you left home.
