A calm checklist for the first few days after you land.

5 min read

Day one

Let your family know you arrived. Get to your accommodation, rest and eat something familiar if you can.

The first few days

  • Collect keys and check your room. Report any problems in writing.
  • Get a UK SIM or eSIM.
  • Complete university enrolment and go to welcome events.
  • Register with a GP.
  • Find your nearest supermarket, pharmacy and bus stop.

Go gently

Jet lag and new surroundings are tiring. Intlgrate's UK Journey checklist tracks these steps so you do not need to remember everything at once.

This guide is general information, not professional, medical or legal advice. Rules and services change, so check the official source before acting.
