Ohio State's Office of International Affairs
The Office of International Affairs offers orientation sessions and administers social, cultural, and educational programming. Students also meet one-on-one with a representative from International Student and Scholar Services to get answers to questions about cultural differences, immigration regulations, and financial matters.

All of these services help ensure that international students and scholars and their families have the greatest opportunity to achieve their academic and personal goals during their time at Ohio State.

EducationUSA
EducationUSA is a global network of more than 450 advising centers supported by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. EducationUSA centers actively promote United States higher education around the world by offering accurate, comprehensive, objective and timely information about educational opportunities in the United States and guidance to qualified individuals on how best to access those opportunities.

Centers are staffed by professional advisers, many of whom have first-hand experience having studied in the United States themselves, and/or having received State Department-approved training about United States higher education and the advising process.
