Imagine yourself arriving in a strange city, alone, tired from travelling thousands of miles, with family and friends far away, lonely in a new land which you can’t understand even a simple signboard and your accent sounds weird to everyone.

​

Then you step into your first day as a university student seated together with strangers and wondering about your way in the campus. It would be a nice feeling to know someone’s waiting for you that you’re not really starting from nothing in this new place where you’ll be spending years ahead.
