How to Get to know How to Adapt to UK Hull City Shock Part 1 & 2 How to Celebrate Chinese New Year When you move into a new city it can be quite difficult to find your way around. We hope this snap guide will help new students to discover Hull City centre in a more interactive way. It’s easy to access and it provides photos of all the tourist attractions available. It’s a great way to explore the Capital of Culture 2017 and discover the best bits! It has become a tradition for the past few years for GO Connect to organise a Chinese New year event in campus. Each year we had various performances, from dragon dances to traditional games, and many more accompanied by a traditional buffet. This snap guide will help you to prepare for Chinese New Year and follow the traditions. How to Know What to do During Welcome Week This snap guide is designed to provide information on what to expect during Welcome Week. Before the beginning of the academic year, The International Office organizes various events throughout a week for new students in order to help them with the new change. During that week there are airport pick ups and many other social events organised by Go Connect or Students Union, all having the same purpose: a better integration of all students. When you first move into a new cultural context it can be quite difficult to know what to say and how to behave. The purpose of this guide is to provide an insight on the British culture and prepare future students for the cultural shock. It is useful to follow these snap guides because they can help you to adapt more quickly by giving future students some basic guidance on what to do and what not to do in UK.
