International Students
For international students in OEB, one of the best resources at UMass is the International Programs Office. The purpose of this office is to help with everything from immigration documents, cultural advising, and coordination with other departments on campus, to helping you file your taxes. The office is located in room 467 of the Hills South Building.
There are several organizations on campus for international students and their spouses.
Some advice from previous students:
- “Get travel insurance when coming to the US. Those of us from developing countries cannot imagine how expensive health care is here, so, in case of an emergency, travel insurance is much cheaper.”
- “Stay in touch with the International Programs Office, take the international student orientation, and read every single handout they give you.”
