Cultural Differences

No matter where you are from, chances are good that you will notice many cultural differences between your home country and the United States. We recommend that international students take time to learn about cultural differences before leaving home so that they are more comfortable with their new surroundings once they arrive on campus.

On-Campus and Local Resources

Once you arrive in the United States, there are many resources available through the Office of International Education and within the campus community to help you get acquainted with the culture of the University of Richmond, the City of Richmond, and the United States, including:

• International Student Peer Mentors
• On-campus events
• Student clubs and organizations
