Adaptation and Integration Services for International Students

Were you excited about living in another country but didn’t think it would be so much colder than you expected, or you couldn’t figure out where to buy your favourite foods, or you couldn’t always understand the language? There can be many challenges associated with cultural adaptation, from integrating into the Québec university system to developing a social network, getting used to the food, and even battling isolation.

  • In addition, the Glossary of university studies at ÉTS, which contains a wealth of information about the school, can be very helpful in facilitating your integration.
