Incoming international students will have more help moving to Calgary this summer with the creation of the UCalgary Welcome Centre.

The centre — which opened July 2 on the fourth floor of the MacEwan Student Centre — will help students new to Calgary find off-campus accommodation, suitable roommates and culture-specific food options during their first few weeks in the city.

While Canadian students are enjoying the first month of classes, some international students are still waiting for their documents to be processed after Canada's new immigration law came into effect on June 28, 2002.
