Pre-Departure Briefing for Fall 2024 Intake: Your Final Step Before the Big Leap


Make Your Transition Abroad Smooth, Safe, and Successful


With your visa stamped and flights booked, you're almost there. But before you take off for your study destination, the Pre-Departure Briefing (PDB) ensures you're ready — mentally, practically, and emotionally. At "WhatNext", we hosted a comprehensive PDB session for Fall 2024 students, covering every detail you need for a confident start abroad.


What Was Covered in the Fall 2024 PDB?


1. Travel Preparation & Essentials

From what to pack to airport protocols and flight transfers, we gave a detailed checklist so students arrive worry-free.


2. Documents You Should Never Forget

Visa, admission letter, health insurance, accommodation proof — we ensured students had all required paperwork for immigration and university verification.


3. Accommodation & Arrival Guidance

Whether you've pre-booked a dorm or need help finding a place, we guided students on first-week essentials, safety, and settling in.


4. Local Culture, Laws & Student Etiquette

We briefed students on adapting to the local culture, respecting rules, and making the most of their time as global citizens.


5. Part-Time Jobs & Banking Abroad

We shared legal work-hour limits, how to apply for jobs, and how to set up a bank account abroad, helping students become financially independent.


6. Emergency Contacts & Student Helplines

Safety is a priority. We provided a list of embassy contacts, university support numbers, and "WhatNext" alumni mentors in major cities.
