Join our panel of undergraduate students from Canada, and EducationUSA alumni, who are currently studying in the United States to learn more about their time transitioning from high school to university. We will ask the panelists questions like:
- What was your experience moving to the US like?
- Is there anything you forgot to bring that you wish you would have?
- What are your tips for getting settled in the dorms?
- What is it like having roommates?
- What are some things you have done to mitigate homesickness?
Come with your questions about transitioning to college life! We will have time to take audience questions. See below for our five panelists.
