STAFF REPORT KHI: Students who have qualified for foreign studies need to prepare their checklist on travel must-dos, getting around in an unfamiliar environment, cultural adjustments, financial arrangements and save a few dollars to set them up for life on campus.
As many as 60 Pakistani students who will begin their higher studies in the United States this year have been advised to get prepared for the journey and its related requirements in terms of documents, finances and other arrangements, at a ceremony held recently in Islamabad.
The event was organised by the US Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) in collaboration with the US Consulate General in Karachi. It was aimed to prepare the students for a potentially life-changing experience as well as serve as a pre-departure networking platform.
