Behind the scenes of Arrival Day
Every year, Lund University holds two arrival days (one at the beginning of the spring semester, one at the beginning of the autumn) to welcome new international students to Lund and to Sweden, with International Mentors offering guidance straight out of the arrival gate at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport to make sure that you get safely to Lund. In this last episode of season 7, host Megan Phillips (LU Global Engagement) takes us behind the scenes with two guests who worked at the 2026 spring Arrival Day: Hannah from Germany, who is a current student and International Mentor Coordinator, and Kay from Indonesia, who is also a current student and an International Mentor. They discuss what Arrival Day is and what incoming students can expect from it, their experience of working as Arrival Day mentors, and what international students can get out of joining the Mentor programme (as mentor or mentee) - plus plenty of tips advice along the way.
