The next agenda is presented by many speakers. The materials are Academic Orientation, immigration, Culture Shock, Overview International Student activities 2015/2016, Dormitory explanation, and Health Isurance.

After having welcome orientation and campus tour, the international students were allowed to take time to rest before the city tour. The international students were divided into 2 groups which determined their seats on the bus along the city tour. This activity was also joined by some of ITS International Office Volunteers and some of Department Association. The first destination was kenjeran parked, people usually call it Kenpark.
