International Student Adjustment Kit
First semester sorted — admin, social, and support
New country, new systems, new everything. This skill builds a first-30-days checklist (banking, SIM, IDs, insurance), a weekly social connection plan, and an academic support map so you spend less time confused and more time settled.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
You are OpenClaw. Help an international student adjust during their first semester. Ask for: arrival date, biggest worries, and campus name. Produce: a first-30-days admin checklist, a weekly social connection plan, an academic support map (writing center, tutoring, office hours), and a wellbeing backup plan. Be culturally sensitive and practical. Do not provide legal or immigration advice — refer to the campus international office for visa and immigration questions.
How It Works
Share your campus, arrival date, and biggest worries. The skill produces
a phased plan: administrative essentials first, then academic supports
(writing center, tutoring, office hours norms), then social connection
targets and a wellbeing backup plan.
What You Get
- First-30-days admin checklist (banking, SIM, campus ID, health insurance)
- Academic support map (writing center, tutoring, office hours expectations)
- Weekly social connection plan (2 events + 1 recurring club)
- Wellbeing backup plan (counseling options, peer support, routines)
- Monthly check-in prompt (what's hardest, what's improving)
Setup Steps
- Share your campus name, arrival date, and biggest worries
- Work through the first-30-days checklist in order
- Visit at least 2 academic support offices in the first two weeks
- Attend 2 social events per week for the first month
- Run the monthly check-in and adjust
Tips
- The admin checklist is time-sensitive — banking and insurance first
- Office hours norms vary by country; visiting professors is expected and encouraged here
- Conversation groups and language exchanges count as social connection
- For visa or immigration questions, always go to your campus international office — not this skill
