Being at university is exciting but it can also be challenging. You may also be away from home for the first time, so it's not unusual to be feeling stressed, anxious, a bit sick, or even homesick. There are a number of support services available at the University of Otago:
- Healthy Campus Whenua Hauora — Wellbeing: Support at Otago
- Student Health
- OUSA Student Support Centre
- Overcoming Homesickness (PDF 332KB)
International students
The International Student Advisers in the International Office are always happy to talk to you about any problems you may have. If they're unable to assist personally they will be able to recommend appropriate contacts and liaise with them on your behalf.
