International Student Resources

- Advising international students, scholars, and departments on immigration procedures and issues
- Assisting students and departments with integration and cross-cultural communication
- Developing and sponsoring programs for international students on topics including immigration, adjustment to American society and culture, academic matters, and university resources
- Working with departments on inviting and hiring international scholars

Learn about what makes Suffolk University special from the people who know best: Suffolk students.
"In the beginning, I was very excited to come to another city, to live there alone. It was a bit scary, but after that, I got used to it and it was fun."
"Studying in the heart of Boston has given me opportunities I wouldn't have found anywhere else."
"With such a diverse student body and faculty, I can assure you that there is something or someone here that welcomes you for who you are."
"My time at Suffolk has shaped me into the individual I had hoped to become—an individual who would make my family proud.”
