I moved from Brazil to study my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-school.de\/home\/programmes\/bachelor-science\/international-management.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">BSc with a focus on International Management<\/span><\/u><\/a> at Frankfurt School and even though I had a good grasp of what Frankfurt School is and what they represent, I had no idea the introduction week would be so much fun.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Induction week activities <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The school organised a week full of activities, giving the students a glimpse onto their academic and professional future. Here\u2019s what we got up to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Various team-building activities throughout Frankfurt<\/li>\n<li>Workshops<\/li>\n<li>Social activities<\/li>\n<li>Speeches and<\/li>\n<li>of course, a lot of fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Brand new campus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On the first day of our introduction week, we were warmly welcomed on the new campus by our programme director, student advisor and, a few days later, Frankfurt School\u2019s President. Seeing the new campus was definitely one of the highlights of the week. As a matter of fact, it\u2019s really hard to picture Frankfurt School without the new campus now. I was amazed by its size, location and great architecture. I couldn\u2019t wait to start my classes!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Workshops<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During the week Frankfurt School offered us a choice of more than 15 workshops, each addressing useful matters for a successful academic and professional life. Some of the workshops included Personal Branding, Meditation and Values &amp; Goals. These were very interesting as they addressed the work-life balance issues and brought up the importance of reviewing our daily habits.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The right decision<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After months of getting ready for the move to Frankfurt, it was really gratifying to see how Frankfurt School prepares their students for success from day one. Even though I was 100% sure of my decision to leave my\u00a0family, job, and studies in Brazil to start all over at FS, experiencing the Introduction Week was a reassurance that I was on the right track.<\/p>\n<p>As a student at Frankfurt School, it\u00a0quickly becomes evident, whether you would like to work for company, a bank or even start your business, you will be provided with the right tools for your future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With every new beginning there comes a feeling of uncertainty.
