Each school has staff who are approved to act as proxy agents for visa issuance and renewal, so we have a system in place where you can feel free to ask for advice not only about things you don't understand about student life, but also about problems you may have in your everyday life.

POINT 3: There are lots of senior international students!

Many former international students are currently enrolled, and in the 2025 academic year, 630 international students enrolled!
