International+Students

Being an international student comes with the added pressure of figuring out the social norms, overcoming culture shock, fitting in, finding funding to cover out-of-state tuition, and reading, writing, and researching in a foreign language.

Here are some tips and resources to help you navigate your graduate school experience:
 * Visit the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS)
 * Read Tufts University's, "Coming to America: How to Make the Most of the International Graduate Student Experience"
 * Check out the UCSB GradPost's New Student Guide to learn about on-campus resources and activities, as well as things you should be doing during your first year to stay on track.
 * If your first language is not English, we invite you to join a student's group of peer support: [|Writing Peers].
