What will the support group provide?
The support group is responsible for the physical, social, emotional and financial needs of the student.The support group people bring all the care they can to nurture each student. They are there to be friends, to recognize what’s needed and help out. Some household in the support group may offer a home for the student. Unless the school has offered to pay for a meal plan, that will be part of providing this home. The support group will be there to greet the student upon arrival, to introduce the student to the admissions people at the school, to introduce the student to how the local community works and where things are, to talk about how things work and how needs are met, to have connections ready so the student can use whatever help the school provides for international students (especially at larger institutions), to know about orientation sessions and (if needed) what help the school has for students with ESL (English as a second language).
