International students

Studying in another country, especially if it means you are moving far away, can seem a little scary. Making the transition to a new place often involves a lot of unknowns, and many new things to learn and do: as an international student, you might need to explore new places, create new routines, meet new colleagues and classmates, make new friends, learn new languages …

We understand all of this, and that is why we want to do everything we can to help ensure your transition to life at BU is as smooth as possible. We know that once you start to feel at home here, you’ll be ready to take advantage of the incredible opportunities your Bishop’s experience has to offer you.
