What is W2W?

W2W is the Welcome to Wollongong Project.

It is aimed at:

• Making international students feel welcome in the Illawarra.
• Providing international students with more information about what is happening in the community.
• Making the community more aware of the large and diverse international student population who study in Wollongong.

Why is it needed?

For a number of years, some of the members of the W2W working group have been carrying out research on international students. They have found:

Many students come to Australia expecting to make friends easily with local students and others in the community. Students often find this more difficult than they expect, with some becoming lonely and home sick. There is a need for the community to play a role in helping international students to feel welcome in Wollongong.
