The Impact of Early Student Connections on Enrollment Decisions

When students feel connected early on, it has a significant impact on their decision to enroll and their confidence in choosing a university. For international students, particularly, knowing that they already have a network in place can ease anxieties and make the transition smoother. This sense of belonging and support before they even arrive plays a big role in their commitment to attend. DCU’s approach is a perfect example of how prioritizing early engagement can enhance student satisfaction and boost enrollment decisions.

How Goin’ Makes This Happen Effortlessly

How does DCU achieve this seamlessly? By partnering with Goin’, the platform does the heavy lifting for them! Goin’ has created a seamless platform where students can chat, ask questions, share advice, and even find potential roommates before classes begin—all without DCU needing to lift a finger. Goin’ enables these meaningful connections without adding to university staff’s workload. Our platform handles moderation and management, allowing DCU’s community to grow organically and authentically.

DCU’s collaboration with Goin’ sets a new standard in community building, creating an environment where students feel at home from day one and confident in their decision to enroll. This achievement doesn’t just enhance student life; it simplifies university operations, making life easier for both students and staff.

Here’s What Some DCU Students Have Shared About Goin’:

Rachana: “Goin is a great initiative. It really helps us be well prepared for coming to DCU. People are getting to know each other and start discussing important things like housing, flights, etc. This app is genuinely one of the best, it suffices all the requirements. I believe it’s good. Glad to be a part of DCU :)”

Chatram: “The initiative of introducing Goin is very much helpful. We all are connecting to each other, we speak about accommodation, future plans and decisions, part-time working, exploring job opportunities as well.”

Ruchika: “I feel it's a very good initiative as it gives students from all over the world a platform to interact. This really helps to clear any of their doubts, make new friends, and to socialize. Love the idea.”

Pushyami: “As a student, I think Goin' is an awesome idea! It's all about connecting with other students before we even start our studies. It can really help us make our move abroad and study experience even better. We can meet new friends, share tips and advice, and maybe even find roommates. It's like having a support system from the get-go, which can make the whole transition smoother and less overwhelming.”

Sagar: “It’s a great initiative and platform to connect with fellow people. Most of us don’t have any abroad experience so here we can get to know about it and also we can share our questions with them… it’s a great platform. Thank you for making this. It’s making life easier.”

Prathusha: “First off, this app definitely helped me reach out to more fellow peers who are going for my same course for this fall intake. Initially though I had few connections…through using this app I felt like I got to reach out to a lot other students for networking further with them!!”
