Getting started
Here is what you need to know to get started on this pathway
Starting College is a momentous occasion and we are guessing you are full of excitement and apprehension. Some international student leaders at a College in Calgary Alberta, Canada created this pathway with many of the things they wished they knew when they started college. Their modules bring an honest student voice, and they selected activities and videos based on skills they have used along the way and want to share with other new college students. We hope this is helpful to you too!
On this path you will learn:
- Learning what supports are available on most campuses
- Academic strategies (learning how to learn)
- Navigating relationships
- Specific skills for international students
- Safer consumption of social media, alcohol and drugs
- Mental health and wellness strategies
- Managing stress, anxiety and worry
- Managing low mood, depression and suicidal thoughts
- Taking care of yourself
