International Student Corner

From the Desk of Agnes Simon, Global Fairfield International Student and Visa Manager

As we prepare for the Fall 2024 semester, we’re excited to share a snapshot of the diverse and dynamic international students that make our campus community truly unique.

A Warm Welcome Awaits

This fall, we’re thrilled to welcome back 91 returning international students—54 undergraduates and 37 graduate students. Additionally, we’re excited to greet 39 new international degree-seeking students, including 13 undergraduates and 26 graduate students. To assist them in getting acquainted and feeling at home, we have planned a full day of events and important information sharing during our Mandatory Global Orientation on Thursday, August 29th.

Our international student population represents a wide array of countries, including India, Turkey, Vietnam, Ireland, Brazil, Spain, Germany, and Nigeria, among others. This rich tapestry of cultures and backgrounds contributes to the vibrant and inclusive atmosphere of our campus.

Expanding Horizons

We are also pleased to announce our growing exchange student population for this semester. We will be hosting 11 exchange students from our esteemed partner institutions, including Sogang University in South Korea, Babeș-Bolyai University in Romania, Comillas Pontifical University in Spain, and University of Galway in Ireland. These students will be with us for a semester, enriching our campus with their global perspectives.

We look forward to an exciting and enriching semester with all of you!
