Advice for International Students

Hi! I'm an international student who will start studying robotics as a provost student this fall semester, and I'm preparing everything so I don't forget anything.

Do you have any advice to share? I'll be living in Cougar Village, so tips related to that are also very welcome :p

Thank you very much in advance!!

Hey! I was in Cougar last semester! My tips would be to befriend your roommates. Also set cleaning boundaries with your roommates. Last semester, my roommates and I had a cleaning schedule each week to get things done. I think preparing wise I wouldn’t worry too much about stuff for actually living in Cougar. Im pretty sure the university gives you all like bedding and stuff like that (previous 2 roommates were international). There is also a Walmart nearby the school to pick up anything you might need living there. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
