Advice for First-Years from Denison Students
Denison University International Podcast Project: Keys to Success in the First Year
Our podcast team consists of students from around the world who have found academic success, friends and a sense of belonging here at Denison University.
In this first series of talks, five students share advice designed to help new international students when they arrive at Denison. We hope friends, families, and the general public here and abroad will also find this information useful. Therefore, some of these recordings are bilingual. The students on our team were asked two questions:
- "What do you wish you knew when you first arrived here?" and
- "What advice do you have to help new international students succeed?"
We hope you will enjoy listening to their answers and their stories.
