They were provided helpful advice on a number of subjects including travel plans, visa formalities, accommodation, opening a bank account and items that could be taken along in luggage. All of the 200 students attending the events in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad had already received offers of admission from UK universities and colleges for the September/ October 2009 intake.

They had numerous questions and queries to ask about life in the UK which British Council staff answered in detail. The event was also an opportunity for the young people to meet and become acquainted with their fellow student travellers. Eminent UK Alumni were invited to share their own experiences of studying in the UK. The alumni answered students' questions, gave valuable advice, and related interesting anecdotes of their own wonderful time spent in the UK. An energetic Speech Competition was organized where five students spoke on "Why did you choose UK as the best educational and cultural learning experience". The three best speakers in each city won spectacular prizes consisting of free return tickets to the UK, gift hampers and excess baggage facilities from sponsor Etihad Airways and free discount cards from sponsor Gerry's Travels.
