Hey International Oles!!
Arriving in the United States can often be scary. The prospect of being in a new country, with new customs, and for some, a completely different language, can be overwhelming, even if you have been away from home before. Luckily, at St. Olaf, as international students, we are never alone. St Olaf has an international student body with more than 300+ international students from more than 85+ nations around the world with 30+ languages and dialects! Check out the table below to see how diverse the St Olaf International Student body is, and if you ever feel you are alone in your experience at St Olaf, come back to this post and remind yourself of the community that surrounds you. International students stick together, and we always have each other’s back!
