Everyone experiences culture shock when they start college (especially international students). Whatever school or college you are, everything is new and disconcerting. Do not worry, almost everyone gets used to it.

Here are some general tips to help you get started.

– Arrive on time to settle into your accommodation and meet roommates, etc. before having to register.

– Get a journal and maps. A campus map is a necessity, but you need a map of the city too. Use them to make sure they know where they are supposed to be and when (not depend on the rookies who have much more a track of what you).

– Get to meetings of induction (IT facilities, library, student union, etc.), registration, briefings of course, meet their tutors, for the first time at the right time and place. Induction meetings can bore to death, but you see the faces in power and might sit next to someone interesting.

– Find out if your conferences, seminars, tutorials and laboratory sessions are carried out when and where you hand in your essays, etc.

– Start making your own academic calendar for the quarter or semester, taking into account the dates on which the assessments have to be delivered (to avoid being penalized if it's late).

– Then plunge into the entertainment the first week, usually a Freshers' Fair, endless nightclubs, parties and nights of bar promotion. This is also when all clubs will try to recruit you but not being molested and not waste the money to join the company charges ridiculous. Some people are obviously week seems to last forever, but can always use the time to explore the town or read a little background, and of the parties.

Once you have moved into their rooms, went to his room and befriended the people on your floor or hallway, you should consider how to share the kitchen works better. The kitchen is always the most social place in student flats. It is important to make a nice a place to be. Keep clean and reduces tensions and arguments of cooking together is good for maintaining healthy friendships. Here are some suggestions:

– Find out what cooking facilities are available where you live (oven, rings, grill, microwave, gas or electricity?)

– How many share?

– Are there any restrictions as to when to use?

– Make sure you know how to operate properly.

– What about cooking utensils, pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, etc?

– Make a list of things you know you will need to check provided. A basic list could start with: kettle, a pot (s), frying pan, chopping, board / surface, sharp knife, bread knife, wooden spoon / Spatula, a baking dish / bowl, tea towels, tin, opener, jug, cups, plates and bowls, cutlery, then add anything else that I personally can not do without – slice of fish, lemon juicer, garlic press, potato peeler, grater, strainer, corkscrew.

– What food storage space is available? In particular, How big is the refrigerator and use it? You can make a big difference if there is any safe place to store supplies instead of buying every day.

– Many students prefer to buy shares and cooking. It saves time and is good for membership in an apartment or house. It pays to be organized about it, especially when it comes to money: to establish a kitten, or a book where everyone writes down what spent on foods. And what we agree on common principles and what is not milk, coffee, cleaning materials, etc. Keep some emergency supplies so they will not starve if the caterer gets a last minute invitation on the way home.

– If you have not done much before cooking, there are plenty Cookbook of the students. You'll find in supermarkets in university towns, or check out cookbooks, new and second hand at Amazon.
