    Welcome

    Hello everyone!

    Congratulations on being accepted and welcome to the best

    college in the world. An exciting and brilliant time is in store for

    you! Cambridge is a fantastic place with lots of odd traditions

    and customs, a diverse and international student scene and

    one which promises great opportunities, both in the academic

    and social eld.

    You might need some time to fully settle in, but the Freshers

    Week will be an amazing experience and lots of fun! As the

    Overseas Welfare Committee, we are here to help you with

    anything you might be struggling with; we would love to show

    you around, make you feel at home and introduce you to all

    the important places such as lecture halls, banks, pubs and

    clubs. This is why as soon as you arrive we will be waiting for

    you and we cannot wait to meet you!

    This handbook will hopefully provide you with a source of

    international student specic information that might be use-

    ful before coming up. It was written to complement the main

    Freshers Handbook so please do take a look at them both.

    We hope that these two handbooks will suitably prepare you

    for your arrival and ease the process of settling in.

    For now, enjoy the rest of the summer and we look forward to

    seeing you very soon indeed!

    Travel

    For train connections in the UK, check

    http://www.nationalrail.co.uk

    For coach services, check

    http://www.nationalexpress.com

    Tickets and timetables are available online, but if you are ar-

    riving by plane, it is probably best to buy your ticket at the

    airport, in case of any unexpected delays.

    London Stansted Airport:

    closest to Cambridge, and easiest travel (there are

    regular direct trains as well as buses to Cambridge).

    Train journey: (direct) to 1 hour (1 change), tickets

    (can be bought at the station) around 10. Coach journey: about 50 minutes, tickets around

    12.

    London Heathrow Airport:

    Direct coach. Journey time: 2 hours, tickets around

    27.

    OR train, journey time 2 hours with multiple changes,

    tickets around 20. Please note that this will usually in-

    volve a trip across London with the tube, not advisableif you have a lot of luggage.

    London Gatwick Airport:

    Direct coaches available once an hour. Journey time

    about 4 hours, tickets 32.

    Trains into London, take tube across London if

    through Victoria Station or walk over to King's Cross

    (100 meters) if through St. Pancras, then train to Cam-

    bridge. Journey time 2 hours, tickets 30.

    08

    9/30

    London Luton Airport:

    Direct coach every 2 hours, journey time 1 hours,

    tickets around 15.

    London City Airport

    This airport is at the other end of London to Cam-

    bridge, and train travel involves multiple changes on

    the tube.

    There are coaches available, although not direct.

    From Central London:

    London Kings Cross: frequent trains to Cambridge.

    London Liverpool Street: trains to Cambridge (not as

    frequent as Kings Cross).

    Victoria Coach Station: Coaches to Cambridge.

    Once you get to Cambridge, whether coach or train station, it

    is advisable to take a taxi if you have a lot of luggage. Direct

    the taxi driver to Trinity College Porters Lodge/Great Gate.

    Cost: 5-10.

    If you require any assistance within Cambridge, members of

    the Overseas Welfare Committee will be happy to meet you at

    the station and help you out. Just drop us an email a couple ofdays in advance ([email protected]).

    By car:

    If you are planning on arriving by car, please be

    aware of the fact that the town center, including Trin-

    ity street, is closed to trafc Monday to Saturday

    from 10am to 4pm. Outside of these times, it is possi-

    ble to stop for a short time right outside the Great Gate

    to unload your luggage, driving in from Bridge Street(mind the one-way streets!)

    Regular ferries from Calais and Dunkerque to Dover.

    Most students arrive the weekend before the start of term,

    and depart the weekend after the end of term.

    Michaelmas term in the rst year is a bit different due to the

    Freshers week preceding the start of term.

    The Overseas Welfare Committee will be available to give

    any help and advice from Saturday, 25th September. (Check

    the Contact Details page on how to nd and contact us.)

    We suggest you try to arrive in Cambridge on Tuesday or

    Wednesday (28th/29th September) as settling in comes with

    a lot of work. (Check our To Do List for more details.)

    Luggage Issues

    Arrival

    First thing to remember, everyone always ends up bringing

    much more stuff than they actually need. It is probably un-

    necessary to bring household items like cutlery, towels etc.

    from overseas because they can be bought relatively cheaply

    in Cambridge. Sainsburys, John Lewis and Argos are the

    shops to explore for this purpose. Sainsburys Basics productline provides very cheap student quality items. If you want

    something better, John Lewis is more expensive but the qual-

    ity is appropriately higher. (One piece of advice: buy towels

    from John Lewis instead of Sainsburys.) Argos is the place to

    go if you cant nd something anywhere else as it has practi-

    cally everything. Look out for their comprehensive catalogue

    in-store and online and remember that they do deliveries too.

    In case you are bringing a lot of stuff with you, you shouldconsider shipping some of your luggage as it will probably

    turn out to be both cheaper and less trouble. Some compa-

    nies to consider: www.excessbaggage.com, www.voovit.com,

    www.shipit.co.uk.

    Dont forget to clearly label all your suitcases with your name

    and address (Trinity College, CB21TQ, Cambridge, United

    Kingdom) and do not pack valuables or electronics take

    them in your hand luggage instead.

    Overseas Storage

    Trinity College doesnt expect you to carry all of your belong-

    ings back and forth between Cambridge and your home coun-

    try, so the college provides storage space for overseas stu-

    dents. You need to tell the porters at least a day in advance

    when you need to put your things in storage, but I recommend

    going to see them two or three days beforehand. The porters

    will then work out a good time to meet you at the storage lo-

    cation in Whewells Court. When youre about to deliver your

    things, you can usually borrow a hand trolley from the porters

    12

  • 8/8/2019 2010 Overseas handbook-final

    13/30

    to help you transport everything easily. The ofcial limit to

    the amount of things you can put in storage is 10 square

    feet, but please consider that with the many overseas stu-

    dents at Trinity, the storage areas can become crowded

    quite quickly.

    Alternatively, you can get together with 10 other people

    living close to you and rent out one of your rooms for the

    holidays for storage. If you split the rent, it might actually

    be worth it as you wont have to carry your stuff all the way

    to Whewells and back. If youre opting for this solution, ar-

    range everything in advance through the Accommodation

    Ofce in Z Angel Court.

    13

    14/30

    When to arrive

    We advise you to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday, 28th

    or 29th of September. UK students will arrive on Friday-

    Saturday and the rst events that you must not miss will

    occur on Sunday (for the main Freshers Week timetable,

    check the main Freshers Handbook). The reason we

    advise you to come up early is because settling in takessome time as there are many things you need to sort out

    before things might go crazy (and they will!) during Fresh-

    ers Week. Please check ourTo Do Listfor more details.

    Before you come up, you must inform the Accommodation

    Ofce and/or your Tutors Secretary about the date of your

    arrival. This is required because they need to make sure

    that a room is available for you when you arrive. Addition-

    ally, if you need any help, e.g. to meet you at the train sta-

    tion to help with the luggage or anything else, contact us

    at [email protected] and tell us when you are arriving.

    Someone will be there to meet you.

    16/30

    Set up a UK bank account. This should be one of the top pri-

    orities once you arrive. It may take up to 2-3 weeks so this issomething you should do as soon as you arrive. Different banks

    have different student accounts to offer and to help you choose,

    please take a look at the next section in our handbook. Remem-

    ber, to set up a bank account you will need your passport and a

    letter from the College conrming your course and address de-

    tails. It is important that this letter should be addressed directly

    to the bank in question, otherwise they wont accept it. Once

    youve chosen the bank you wish to set up your account with,

    email [email protected] and well get you the appropriate let-ter from the College. If you need any help nding nearest bank

    branches, people at the Help Desk will be happy to help you.

    Register with the police. If you are from one of the following

    countries, you need to register with the police:Afghanistan, Al-

    geria, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Boliv-

    ia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Is-

    rael, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya,

    Moldova, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Palestine, Peru, Qatar,

    Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turk-

    menistan, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Yemen.

    It is very important that you do so within 7 days of your arrival.

    Failure to register constitutes an offence, which can lead to ar-

    rest, prosecution and a ne of up to 5000, six months imprison-

    ment, or both. Warrants for arrest of students failing to register

    have been issued in the past so do treat this seriously! You need

    to take your passport, two passport-sized photographs, a fee ofapp. 35, your full name and address in your home country on

    a separate piece of paper and details of your spouses name,

    address and birth date (if existing) on yet another sheet, and a

    letter from your Tutor, which you should have received in your

    freshers pack, conrming your course and address. We will be

    leading a group down to the police station on Friday. Please

    sign up at the Help Desk.

    To Do List

    16

  • 8/8/2019 2010 Overseas handbook-final

    17/30

    Register with a local doctor. Overseas students in the UK get free

    NHS service. The college will provide you with a list of doctors andmedical centres to choose from and we advise you to register with

    one of them as soon as possible to avoid queues before other stu-

    dents come up and realise they also need to register. Just go there

    and ll out some forms and youre done!

    Get a meningitis vaccination. You have to make sure that youre

    vaccinated against meningitis as it is a deadly disease and Cam-

    bridge happens to be a hotspot for it. It might be easier to get vac-

    cinated before coming up but it also possible to get it once youveregistered with a local doctor. Also, it may be a good idea to nd

    your vaccination records and show them to your new doctor on the

    rst visit as your home country might not have such a comprehen-

    sive vaccination program as in the UK.

    Take your passport to your Tutors Secretary for a visa check (if

    applicable). The College needs to take photocopies of your pass-

    port and your visa. It doesnt take long but it has to be done within aweek after your arrival.

    Buy a British mobile phone (or just a SIM card). There are many

    plans available, with T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone, O2 and 3 being

    the most popular mobile carriers. Some plans are pay-as-you-go,

    meaning you need to top up your balance every so often before

    using your phone; while other plans charge you a monthly basis,

    giving you a certain number of minutes and texts for a xed monthly

    price for these you need to set up a bank account rst. There arealso international plans which allow you to call your home country at

    relatively cheap rates but calls within UK will charge you more. Also,

    consider using Skype to call home. Three offers unlimited Skype on

    their mobile phones. With many plans you will get a mobile phone

    for free! It is worth checking the carrier websites before choosing as

    there are innumerable options depending on what you need.

    Read the main Freshers Handbook, especially the Timetable

    and the To Do List sections, as they contain important informationregarding things that all freshers, international students included,

    need to do during the main Freshers Week.

    Coming to England as an overseas student is a challenge in

    itself, one that you accepted when you applied to Cambridge.

    Some of you will have lived in more than one country, andsome of you may even have attended a British school. Much

    of what follows, therefore, may not be new to you.

    When you enter an unfamiliar culture you will go through a

    long process in which you will continually redene your at-

    titudes towards the host culture and towards your own. While

    this can be an exciting process, it can also be exhausting.

    You may nd that you are swinging back and forth between

    enthusiasm and dislike for what is different to you. Just acceptthat this is a perfectly normal reaction, and take your time.

    Eventually you will arrive at a more balanced judgement and

    you will be able to distinguish between those aspects of the

    culture that you like and want to take on, and those that you

    dont. The key is to observe patiently: observe the locals, ob-

    serve overseas students, listen to their views and your views

    on English culture. If you realise that most of these, including

    your own, are provisional and purely subjective, you will be

    able to be more relaxed about these matters.

    However, sometimes the transition is accompanied by a cul-

    Culture Shock & English Behaviour Patterns

    over, May Week will be your proper reward with many Garden

    Parties, too much punting and the all-night-long May Balls.

    Albeit unpredictable, British weather is, on average, relatively

    steady with no extremities and a narrow temperature range.

    So if you can get used to unexpected rains, you might actually

    enjoy the fact that you can comfortably wear the same jeans

    throughout the entire year (which, of course, we hope youwont do for obvious reasons).

    19

  • 8/8/2019 2010 Overseas handbook-final

    20/30

    ture shock in which you experience disorientation or even anx-

    iety. In some of the cases, the culture shock is unconscious:

    you may need much more sleep than usual, get obsessed with

    one activity, or get overly concerned with cleanliness and your

    health. In other cases, it is more obvious: you feel homesick,

    long for familiar food, or miss speaking your mother tongue.

    Again, most of us experience this to some extent. The short-

    term cures, of course, are going to a restaurant that offers thefood you are missing or cooking it yourself, calling home, and

    speaking your mother tongue with people from your country.

    However, toxicity is in the dose. Dont eat only your own food,

    dont socialise exclusively among your fellow countrymen,

    and dont avoid speaking English altogether because in the

    long-term all of this will only make it more difcult for you to

    settle in. Try different food and different activities, and leave

    your room! If you still encounter serious problems, talk about

    them with friends. Chaplains or the Councellor are also help-ful people to talk to about your problems.

    Finally, be aware that English culture is not only about English

    language (or food), it is how people behave and interact more

    generally. Many, especially Europeans, underestimate the

    differences between English culture and their own because

    those are less visible. A common mistake, then, is to assume

    that once one speaks English one will naturally t in and be

    able to communicate with English people. Some examplesthat this is not enough: an how are you doing on the stair-

    case can just be a greeting, and does not necessarily require

    an answer; conversations are not usually started by introduc-

    ing yourself by name; when talking about the weather it is not

    generally acceptable to disagree because it is only a means to

    ll moments of silence or to change conversation topic. - It is

    these small differences that may confuse you, no matter how

    well you speak English. You may nd Kate Foxs entertainingbook Watching the English. The Hidden Rules of English Be-

    haviour illuminating. She writes as an anthropologist on her

    own culture, and goes well beyond the common stereotypes.

    Money Issues

    In the UK, most people use a debit card instead of cash, with

    virtually all shops, cafs and restaurants equipped to accept

    it. In the small local supermarket Sainsburys, which will soon

    become a vital part of your life, you can also get cash straight

    off your debit card when you buy something. This is called

    cash back and allows you to avoid a trip to the ATM.

    However, for you it will take some time to set up a bank ac-

    count, get a debit card and transfer money from your home

    country (see Bank account section for details). Therefore, you

    will need some cash to cover your expenses in the rst few

    weeks. 300 would be an adequate minimum. Remember,

    there are going to be many expenses in the rst few days:

    from basic cutlery and nice soft towels to academic gowns

    you are required to purchase (app. 45). Also, it is good tobe on the safe side as some unforeseeable expenses might

    arise.

    She argues that English behaviour is governed by irony and

    that in turn irony will be expected of you. If theres one lesson

    to be learned from this article, its this: dont take yourself too

    seriously when you are in England, and, for that matter, dont

    take culture too seriously either, for we are still all persons.

    Electrical Appliances

    If you are bringing electrical devices from home, remember

    that the electrical supply in the UK works on 250 Volts, 50 Hz

    and the sockets take three pin square plugs. It is worth gettingsome adaptors before you arrive you can nd all possible

    variations for ridiculously low prices on Ebay.

    Getting Around

    In Cambridge, the easiest way to get around is by bicycle.

    There are cycle routes joining all important parts of the town

    and it is the fastest way of getting from one place to another.Thus, consider getting a bike once you arrive. However, buy

    a cheap one second-hand as they get stolen all the time. In-

    vesting in a very good bicycle lock (sometimes more expen-

    sive than the bike itself!) is denitely a good idea.

    However, if cycling isnt your thing, dont worry. Most Univer-

    sity sites are within 20 minutes walking distance from the cen-

    trally located Trinity College and if you need to go to some

    outlying places like Addenbrookes Hospital, there are fre-quent bus connections to get you there quickly and cheaply.

    Also, taxis are very abundant and relatively cheap.

    23

    24/30

    Bank Account

    To help you make the important choice of which bank to use

    (see To Do List entry), we have compiled a list of available

    international student accounts. Usually, banks will offer you abasic account with no monthly fee but it might be worth con-

    sidering going for the extra option of a paying account, which

    generally gives you lots of benets such as travel discount

    cards, insurance or other perks. All basic accounts are very

    similar: online banking, negligible interest rates, VISA debit

    card etc. In terms of security, both types are generally the

    same but the paying accounts provide more services to make

    your banking experience easier. In all cases, check out the

    bank websites before you choose!

    One important thing to keep in mind always ask the banks

    for cheque books (used for paying from your account direct-

    ly a still surviving traditional way of payment). These are

    useful when you have them (but you can just as well survive

    without one) but banks are very inconsistent in their policy on

    who is eligible to receive them. It seems that European Union

    students are eligible while others are not but it is worth asking

    anyway when you set up your account.

    Also, if you transfer big sums of money to your new account,

    it is unwise to keep it all in your main account. Savings ac-

    counts are available in addition to your normal accounts free

    of charge. These are safer and also give you higher interest

    rates inquire at your bank.

    The following list is of the main banks in the UK, all which

    have branches in central Cambridge. We have listed what

    paying accounts have to offer, since basic accounts are all

    the same. Do check the websites before making your choice!

    English as a

    Second Language

    There is not a lot of English language support offered for un-

    dergraduates. It is assumed that during your three or four

    years here you will easily improve your language skills by

    studying alongside British students and by being taught in

    English. It is certainly true that your spoken English will im-

    prove as you become more condent, even though you may

    not notice it.

    However, you may nd that certain areas of the language

    dont just improve automatically. In these cases, the progress

    really depends on your effort. After some time, you may not

    improve anymore because you always use the same vocabu-

    lary. If this bothers you, spend some extra time looking up

    related vocabulary and synonyms and listen carefully to your

    peers to pick up expressions you have never actively used

    before. The key is to learn the vocabulary in context with ex-

    amples of its usage.

    Another situation that may arise: your academic English will

    get better as you read material for your course and write es-

    says, but you may nd that you lack in colloquial English, and

    that your English is too formal on social occasions. In this

    case, watch movies or TV and read novels, paying attention

    to the kind of language used, and choose those words and

    patterns that wouldnt feel articial if you used them.

    On a different level, you could try to become aware of the

    social dimensions of English. Once an Englishman opens his

    mouth, other Englishmen can surprisingly accurately identify

    his regional background and his social class. Social class is

    attached both to specic words and to accents, and it is very

    difcult for non-native speakers to gure out these nuances.

    Fortunately, as foreigners we dont t into these schemes

    and cant be easily categorised by our use of language. As

    a result, one English guy, apparently irritated, actually asked

    me once what my social class was equally confused, I an-

    swered I had no idea.

    If you are worried about speaking and understanding English

    when you come to Cambridge, there are many things you can

    do to prepare yourself. Primarily, this involves exposing your-

    self to as much English material as possible, be it movies,

    novels, television or music. Especially listening to colloquial

    spoken English will prepare you for daily life in Cambridge.

    The Language Centre of the University of Cambridge offers

    a degree-accompanying English course, the English for Aca-demic Purposes (EAP) programme. During the academic

    year, the in-sessional course runs, consisting of one-on-

    one supervisions and workshops. The cost of this one-year

    course is (for undergraduates and postgraduates) 200. More

    information on this programme can be found at http://wserv.

    langcen.cam.ac.uk/eap/eap.php .

    Finally, dont worry too much. Statistics show that overseas

    students at Cambridge generally achieve better than theirBritish peers despite their different language backgrounds.

    Religious Resources

    Cambridge has a diverse religious population, and you will

    probably be able to nd others who share your beliefs. Thecity has religious centres for many of the larger world reli-

    gions, and dont forget that the college has extensive welfare

    provisions that are always available to help if you cant nd

    the support youre looking for. You should know that you can

    just talk to your tutors secretary if youd like to start a religious

    society within college.

    Weve included the following list of religious centres and uni-

    versity societies.
