We are excited to announce that four new pre-arrival informational videos have been created to assist newly admitted UF international students in preparing for their studies in the US. These videos provide valuable insights and guidance, helping students feel more confident and prepared as they approach their arrival.
These helpful videos will be available on the UFIC YouTube page, offering essential guidance for students as they prepare for their studies in the US. Be sure to share this valuable resource with your students!
Please note that these videos are supplemental and meant to complement the information provided by other campus offices, who are the experts in specific areas, as well as our own orientation materials.
