Widener Named a Best University for International Students

Widener University was recently named to a national list of best colleges and universities for international students.

The list published by Colleges of Distinction included 200 schools from 40 states, with just 15 from Pennsylvania.
The outlet considered five key conditions that create supportive environments for students trying to acclimate themselves to life on a U.S. campus. They included: 

•    Programs that support recruitment and retention, including efforts that help students transition and access to tutoring.
•    Guidance on living and studying in the United States, such as providing students information on everything from U.S. culture to how to open a bank account.
•    Academic acclimation and support, such as providing English language support, alumni networking and virtual office hours with professors.
•    Fostering a sense of belonging on campus, through things like peer mentoring, international student groups and cultural festivals or events.
•    Career development and immigration support, on matters like visas, immigration and tax guidance.
