New Arrivals

New Arrivals

We love welcoming new students and scholars.  

We have friendly volunteers who offer temporary housing when you first arrive, or an airport pickup. You can request this help at www.new2umn.org 

Also, visit http://www.umncn.net/  for new arrival helps.  This website is managed by a visiting scholar at the UMN and contains lots of practical helpful things.
