• Calling all International Students. Orientation is designed to help students adjust to life at Warwick and the UK, and to make the transition from airport to classroom as smooth and as fun as possible. Our Orientation volunteers, 77 students at Warwick many of whom have attended Orientation in the past, welcome our attendees at the airport and guide them through every step of our programme. This includes tours of the local area, early enrolment, help with opening a bank account, registering with a doctor, academic and intercultural skills sessions, and plenty of social opportunities to make new friends. Much more detailed information can be found on our website at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/study/international/events/orientation/
