International Students

 
You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
  Rev. 5:9

Gordon-Conwell continues to develop ways of serving its international community.

  • The Pre-Arrival Packet, which is sent to every international student following the issuance of the I-20, provides information to help in preparation for coming to New England and to the campus.
  • F-1 visa must students submit a housing application by April 1 to be given priority for assignment for Fall semester housing or November 1 for Spring semester. After these deadlines, on-campus housing cannot be guaranteed.
  • All international students are welcomed at the airport by a current student or a member of Student Life Services.
  • Orientation to campus life begins the day of arrival by assisting students to obtain such items as social security numbers, bank accounts and drivers' licenses.
  • In addition to the general seminary orientation, a specially designed orientation is provided for all international students and their families.
  • Fellowship opportunities are available for single and married international students.
  • International wives have opportunities for encouraging times of fellowship, learning and service.
  • All community activities are available to the international community, including a special campus wide International Dinner.
