International Student Testimonials

International Student Services has a great effect on me as an international student at BSU. I received thorough guidance which helped me to start studying confidently. ISS also organizes cultural activities that engage international students with each other and with natives around; that was very helpful in getting information about different cultures and sharing my culture with others. Moreover, they arrange many trips to prominent educational, cultural, historical, amusing places. We enjoyed them very much. ISS provided me, many times, substantial academic advice regarding my study plan and my home-coming trips that facilitate travel procedures on borders when entering the USA. I think it is a suitable place for international students to resort to in case he faces anything regarding on campus and even off campus issues, so I visit the CIE regularly.

Once you are on BSU's campus, you never walk alone. Here, you are not just another student but a member of the university community. ISS takes a personal interest in making your experience at BSU a memorable one. Professors know you by name and provide the support and encouragement you need to succeed. The class sizes are small and some programs have received national accreditation. It's a great place to be.
