Help International Students Feel at Home Before Day One.
Make the transition to life in the US a little easier. Your Experience Abroad helps international students prepare for arrival with bedding and move-in essentials delivered to their accommodation. We partner with universities andinternational student services teams to provide a practical resource students can use before they leave home.
Move-in essentials, packing and delivery managed by YEA
Arriving in a New Country Is About More Than Getting to Campus.
For international students, preparing to study abroad means navigating a new academic environment, unfamiliar surroundings, and the practical details of daily life.
After a long journey, students may arrive with limited luggage and still need to purchase bedding, towels, and other household essentials before they can settle into their accommodation.
International student advisors and orientation teams already help students prepare for this transition. Your Experience Abroad provides an additional resource to help answer one practical question: What will I need when I arrive at my new home?
A Practical Resource for Your International Student Community.
Whether you want to share a helpful resource with incoming students or build a more structured arrival package, YEA offers two ways to collaborate. Both are designed to fit alongside your existing international student services and orientation programs.
Student Resource Partnership
A simple resource to share before students arrive.
Give incoming international students access to YEA's move-in essentials through your pre-arrival emails, student resource pages, orientation materials, or welcome communications.
Students order directly from YEA, and we manage packing, fulfillment, and shipping. Your institution can make a useful recommendation without managing individual orders.
How it works
1.We establish the partnership and agree on how the resource will be shared.
2.Your team introduces YEA to incoming international students.
3.Students order the essentials they need directly from us.
4.YEA manages fulfillment and delivery.
Best for international student advisors and teams seeking a low-effort, practical pre-arrival resource.
University Welcome Packages
Make move-in essentials part of the arrival experience.
Explore incorporating bedding and household essentials into a welcome package, student arrival program, or accommodation-related offering.
YEA can work with your team to define kit contents, packaging, and delivery arrangements, then manage packing and fulfillment according to the agreed model.
Depending on your program, packages could be offered as a paid option, purchased by the institution or a program partner, or incorporated into an existing arrival package.
How it works
1.We discuss your program, student needs, and package requirements.
2.We agree on the kit contents, purchasing arrangement, and delivery plan.
3.YEA prepares and packs the agreed kits.
4.We coordinate shipping and fulfillment around the agreed arrival process.
