This is a university with countless opportunities and a place you take control of your future. Studying in Wenzhou University is a passport to successful life and career, but what makes it special is its care for international students. To make you get as involved as possible in university life, Wenzhou university gives you a support network and help to get you oriented during the Freshers’ Week. These days Wenzhou University has been busy greeting its new incoming international students from different places around the world. Current students who have great passion for welcoming international students have made great contributions to Freshers’ Week. The campus comes alive with energetic new students as well as those kind, caring and thoughtful current students. Considering it would be difficult in the new environment, all of the current students show their hospitality to international students by providing assistance for them with their arrival when they got there. Many of them so far have joined the SICAS Care team which plays an important part in taking care of these international students. These students picked up international students from the airport and settle them into their new home in Wenzhou University. When a group of students returned to the campus, another group responsible for school enrollment had already been there. They offered to help these international students with school enrollment which involves a lot of complicated procedures and takes patience and time to go through. Luckily, accompanied by these volunteers, everything worked out perfectly. Student volunteers also took international students on a tour of the campus hoping to get them as involved as possible in university life.
