What's Included
Plane Departure
Step-by-step guidance from pre-departure through your first week — so nothing catches you off guard at the airport or after.
Calendar Check
One important task per day. Banking, phone, campus setup — broken down so it never piles up and never feels overwhelming.
Banking & Finance
Open a U.S. account, set up transfers, and stop losing money to fees you didn't know existed. Built from real first-year experience.
Parent Pack
A dedicated parent guide so the people back home understand what you're going through — and how to support you without adding pressure.
Community
Connect with a UStart alumnus from your sport and region — someone who made this exact move and can tell you what nobody else will.
Admin & Compliance
Insurance, SSN, health centre, academic eligibility — the hidden admin that derails students who weren't warned. You will be.
