Events for Admitted International Students
Admitted International Information Session
March 24 in Mandarin
March 25 in English
We know you have a big decision to make—starting a new life in the U.S. brings both excitement and nervousness, and we understand that most of you can’t visit UMass Amherst in person to see if it is the right university for you. Our current international students are excited to share their UMass experience with you in this live video presentation!
UMass Amherst Comes to You
UMass Amherst counselors will visit China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam for in-person events. Planned specifically for recently admitted international students, these sessions will offer information on academic programs, advising, research and internship opportunities, housing, transitioning to a new culture, and much more! Registration opens in March.
