journals in libraries of university services can be accessed by students throughout the day and an
excellent experienced professional team of staff members is available to provide assistance to
students regarding their assignments and projects.
Language support for students: Many students coming in university are not familiar with
English language as their native image is different, also there is vast difference from school level
English to high school. Waltham international university provides English learning courses for

Reflection
As per my experience WIC support services were extremely good and every student in
order to enhance its academic skill has to join such institute. It not only provide education but

also offer such addition facilities and infrastructure so that student can easily gather learn lot of
new things from his peer ones. Various services that had benefited me while I was in WIC
campus are there was a welfare team that support and handle various issue that are non-academic
(Roksa and Kinsley, 2019). It provides financial support to students so that they student of
various financial status joined the institute and develop new skill and knowledge. Library
resource were very useful for me as they provide me material and full range of syllabus 24 hours
so it provides easy and comfort to learn new things as per my timing. Healthcare and well-being
facilities provide by WIC is able to ensure safety of students and able to meet needs of personal
individual. On the other hand my peer ones can also use such services by joining in WIC college
it helps in increasing their academic knowledge and skills (Bird and Bird, 2017). They can also
use library, take guidance from lecture about particular topics and get equal opportunities as per
other students. Thus, all such support services helps in increasing knowledge and skill of
academic of me and my peers one's at the same time provide various growth opportunities in
career.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it can be concluded that various support services helps students to
easily understand various new things that they can learn for growth in the future. Support
services of WIC helps in promoting brand image of company and attract more students to come
