    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What’s the biggest culture shock for international students?

      The casual professor-student relationship. Professors may invite you to call them by their first name and expect open debate. Also, tipping at restaurants, huge portion sizes, and a very “individualistic” mindset can surprise new arrivals.

    • Are part-time jobs easy to get for international students?

      On-campus jobs like library assistants, lab helpers, or dining hall staff are common. Off-campus work is more regulated, but internships under CPT or OPT can give you paid professional experience.

    • One thing students wish they knew before moving to the USA?

      That university life here is more than just academics — joining clubs, networking with professors, attending workshops, and exploring local culture often matter as much as your grades.

    • Do I need health insurance — even if I’m healthy?

      Absolutely. US healthcare is expensive, and most universities require proof of insurance before you can enroll. You can choose your university’s plan or get an approved private plan.
