Columbia University has the second largest international enrollment of any U.S. college or university. It welcomes 4,000 students from approximately 150 countries and offers them an array of services through the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO). The ISSO staff assists prospective and enrolled international students with their questions about admission and placement, immigration matters, social and cultural activities, and adjustment to a new academic and cultural environment. International students are invited to pick up a current ISSO Program Guide that lists the many events and activities scheduled for international students and their spouses throughout the academic year. The Program Guide answers the most frequently asked questions related to travel and maintaining immigration status and provides other useful information. The ISSO Program Guide, the ISSO Web site and ISSOnews are the best ways for international students to stay aware of events of particular interest to them at Columbia.
