Every member institution has current international students ready to answer your real questions — about campus life, the visa process, housing, and what it actually feels like to study in Ohio.

Coming from Hanoi, I was nervous about the transition. My ambassador helped me find housing, understand registration, and feel at home within my first week.

The ambassador program connected me with students who had already navigated the visa process. That guidance made everything less overwhelming.

Ohio surprised me — the campus community is incredibly welcoming. I became an ambassador because I want every new student to feel that from day one.

I had so many questions before I arrived. Having someone who understood both the academic system and campus culture was invaluable.
