Prepare for arrival and begin building your community before you get here, then explore new ways to get involved and deepen connections once you're on campus.
WhatsApp New Students Group
The WhatsApp Community has been created for you to connect with other international students and stay up to date with ISS, campus, and Tucson events.
Request to join our New Students group to meet other new students, share experiences, and ask questions.
You can use this group to connect with our Global Ambassadors, current international students who are here to help with student life, campus clubs, food recommendations, and more.
Once your admission term has been confirmed, you will be added to the group.
The New Students group will remain active until the end of your first semester.
This space should be welcoming, respectful, and focused on supporting you as new international students. If you’re ever unsure whether something is okay to post, reach out to the group administrator first.
The following behaviors are not allowed and will result in immediate removal from the group. If you notice any of these behaviors, please report them to the group administrator.
