These brave young people have taken on the challenge of living in a new country and we will be here to support them every step of the way. To ensure their first few days in England went smoothly all our students took part in a 'Soft Landing Camp'. This short residential programme was held at Walnutree Manor in Suffolk. The students took part in activities and really got to know each other as they embark on their time here.
The students went to Cambridge for punting and sightseeing then they were given some free time for shopping! In the evening everyone enjoyed a BBQ, campfire and tasty smores.
The following day the MyChoice UK team went through the details of the programme including rules and useful contacts. This time gave the students the opportunity to ask any questions and discuss anything they were unsure about. After some lunch it was time to pack ready for our Suffolk students to meet their host families and our students living and studying in other regions to depart by coach/taxi with MyChoice staff. The students had come from many different countries and have been united through this experience. They will not only have the team here to support them but also each other and it was lovely to see the friendships that had been made in a short period of time. 
We are looking forward to sharing their experiences on the blog in the coming weeks…!
