- Show them around the academic buildings and student dormitory, point out nearby banks, post offices, grocery stores, shopping centres, entertainment and recreation facilities.
- Assist them with finding classrooms, offices, libraries, self-study rooms and other places the student may require in university buildings.

Organise events and activities to help newcomers find friends in a new environment.
