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.

Car/Bike Purchasing
Purchasing and driving a car in the USA is a potentially confusing experience for international students. For viewing permission to Tom Lindstrom's "Car Buying Seminar" and "Understanding Cars" presentations, email us. We can also recommend car dealers and a repair shop with Chinese mechanics.
Also, for students that are in need of bikes, contact Tom.
