Life as an international student

International students have time between studying to explore Connecticut, visit iconic landmarks, and experience the US, its customs and activities. New York City is only an hour away by train. Student organizations play an important role in shaping the Fairfield student experience and campus community through their philanthropy, community events, and social opportunities.

Orientation is provided to international students at the start of your course. The program offers time for personal advice as well as course registration. The Office of Student Engagement (OSE) is the main resource for international students during their time at Fairfield University. The OSE can help with medical health insurance, campus life, and adapting to life in the United States.
