On almost all U.S. university campuses, the international student
adviser (ISA) is the main source of assistance, advice, and other
personal support you might need while you are in the United States.
The ISA usually is based in an International Students Office, or
department with a similar name, and is the person responsible for
your orientation on arrival and for helping with visa and tax
issues. If there is no official international student adviser at
your chosen college or university, there will be some other person
assigned to work with international students, at least on a
part-time basis. When you receive your acceptance letter, you should
receive the name of the international student adviser or of another
person who acts in this capacity. If no name is listed, request the
information from the admissions office or check your college's or
university's website. Write to the international student adviser or
other appropriate person, informing him or her of your arrival date. |
