A Letter from the IC Staff

Dear New FSU International Student:

Welcome to Florida State University! We look forward to welcoming you to Tallahassee. The International Center and its staff are here to serve international students and their families. We provide advising about F and J visa requirements, coordinate international activities on campus and assist students and their families in many aspects, such as cultural adjustment, employment matters, housing and personal problems. The center offers meeting space to international student organizations, a kitchen, and lounges for recreational use. We hope that the IC becomes a "home" to you and your friends during your stay at Florida State.

The information in the Pre-Arrival section has been prepared to answer some of the many questions that you are likely to have as you prepare to travel to Tallahassee.

Please read the Pre Arrival Information carefully. It will answer most, if not all, of your questions.

Have a pleasant journey to Tallahassee, and we look forward to meeting you.
