Summer 2024 Orientation – International Centre

Are you looking for some insider tips on navigating student life in Canada/at Humber College?

Look no further! Our Student Ambassadors are here to share their invaluable insights and experiences with you. Join us for a cozy virtual coffee chat where our Ambassadors will spill the beans on everything you need to know about life in Canada and student life at Humber College.

As an international student, coming to Canada can be exciting, but tends to be very busy. While you’re getting used to your new surroundings, the last thing you want to have to think about is your finances. During this session, we will be discussing what you need to get started, as well as different types of accounts and their features and benefits.  Offered by our partner Royal Bank of Canada (RBC).

As you start your school year, planning ahead can be overwhelming, and the topic of money can be emotional. Stay in control by budgeting and understanding what is coming in/out of your account. During this session, you will learn about different resources available to you and gain better control over your money. This will help reduce your stress and prevent you from going into unnecessary debt.

Borrowing is never free! There are many credit options to choose from, and your needs generally guide what can be best suited for you. It’s also important to understand the benefits of “good credit”, and the risks of “bad credit.” During this session, we will discuss what you should know about credit, what a credit score is, and how to build good credit.

This session will introduce you to Humber Libraries. Learn how to explore the library’s online and physical collection to find books, journals, streaming videos and research databases related to your program. We will also cover library study spaces, booking study rooms, research support, the Idea Lab and more in this informative and interactive virtual workshop.
