Learn more about OIS

Organized and run by Yale College international students and Yale’s Office of International Students and Scholars, OIS will include discussions about academic life, social life and cultural adjustment. Students will go on campus and community tours, shopping excursions and have free time to take care of personal business such as setting up a bank account. The program also includes many recreational activities including picnics, soccer games, movies and time to hang out with new friends.

The cost of the orientation program is $200, which includes housing and all meals. This fee will be added to your financial account after the completion of the program. A fee-waiver will automatically be granted to any student on financial aid.

OIS 2012 application will be available online this spring. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please send an email to monica.weeks@yale.edu.

"The most important task for the OIS is to have the international students get to know each other, and that they did indeed."
