Hi everyone, congrats to all the incoming international students coming to NU for Fall 2026 & Spring 2027! Moving to Evanston from abroad is a huge transition.
This group is open to:
Incoming Fall 2026 admits + Spring 2027 admits + Current students are welcome too!
Master's (e.g. McCormick, Kellogg), PhD, Post-doc’s, Exchange, Undergrad
The goal is simple: create a genuine, non-spammy community where international students can meet each other and connect with mentors before arriving in Evanston. You can also share and discover social events and welcome events that are targeted for international students.
Join our events that we're hosting for the international community - it's a English-speaking community to help you feel comfortable, practice conversational English, and adjust to life in the U.S.
Get help with the F1 visa, I-20, OPT, H1B, and career advice
Ask questions and get real student perspectives (food, campus life, housing, safety etc.)
