Orientation Programs offered by Northeastern’s International Student

moment you land in the U.S. and continuing throughout the school year. A full range
of orientation services is provided, from an airport welcome to advice on everything
from opening a bank account to shopping in Boston—and, of course, anything having
to do with immigration. ISSI also provides a social network for international students
through cultural programs and trips to exciting places like New York City and the
beautiful New England countryside.
Student Advisors Each student is assigned a Student Advisor—someone
you can count on for answers to the many questions that life in a new school and
new country can bring. Your Student Advisor can help you with everything from questions
about U.S. culture to an unexpected challenge in one of your classes.
Housing As a student, you’ll have three housing options: an apartment
either on your own or with other students, a ‘homestay’ - living with an American
host family, or a Guest House in the Boston area. Of course, if you have family
in the area, you can choose to stay with them. Whichever you choose, the staff will
make sure that you’re safe and happy in your new home.

you with all necessary documents for your visa application and advise you on maintaining
