Why I Built This?
As an international student at Seattle Central College, I know how overwhelming it can be to start a new life in a different country.
What made it harder was the fact that important information was scattered across multiple websites and platforms. As a newcomer, it’s hard to even know where to begin.
That’s why I created this website — a simple, student-made guide built from my own experiences. It’s everything I wish I had when I first arrived: helpful resources, practical tips, and honest reflections.
I hope this site serves as a small bridge to help you feel more prepared, supported, and less alone. You're not the only one on this journey — and I’m rooting for you.
Everything here is based on what I’ve personally found useful as a student. I’m not an expert, and things might change or vary — so make sure to verify things on official sites when needed!
