Feeling at Home
For most of you, this is the first time away from your homes and families. Along with the feeling of excitement which comes with every adventure and new beginning you also feel the increased responsibility you have taken on. Along with these concerns, there is also the feeling of homesickness that students need to tackle. Feeling homesick is common and perfectly normal for all students that choose to pursue their studies away from home. All of us here at Intercollege, both faculty and staff, understand all the difficulties and concerns students are faced with trying to adapt to a new culture and way of life. We have thus taken steps into ensuring that your transition into your new way of life takes place as smoothly as possible.
In addition to your Tuition Fees, you also need to plan your personal and living expenses budget.
