Society for International Undergraduates (International Orientation)

1. NSOP for International Students

----
Every year, the New Student Orientation Program (NSOP) welcomes over 1000 new students and their families to Columbia and Barnard.

International students make up a substantial portion of the new undergraduate population and some of them haven't ever been in the US before. Naturally, international students have to put in a lot of effort to really adapt to this new environment, which is why we think extra attention should be paid to orientation for international students.

We are currently conducting a survey on how orientation for international students can be improved. Please fill out the survey, so we can help new international students ease into this new environment more readily!

**This survey is conducted by the Society for International Undergraduates(SIU)**

Using the results form this survey, SIU aims to work with the New Student Orientation Program (NSOP) on improving orientation for international students.
