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.
