Orientation

Students

We provide information on how to best transition to the U.S. and the BU community to new degree and non-degree students at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. These mandatory sessions feature an introduction to ISSO services and include critical visa and immigration information, as well as important tips on cultural adjustment, employment in the US, the American classroom, and health.
