Pre-O updates and Q+As from our June meeting

Please submit your arrival form!

Dear New International Mammoth,

It was lovely to meet many of you on June 18. We had a blast getting to know you and fielding your questions. For those who missed it, here are some highlights:

Submit your arrival form by Aug. 2 so we can ensure we meet your needs during Pre-Orientation. Fill out the form after you’ve purchased your flight.
Everyone will be assigned an International Student Leader (ISL) who will be your resource for all things Pre-Orientation. Expect to hear from them soon!
You must arrive for Pre-O on campus on Aug. 22. The welcome tent will be open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST. Unfortunately, we can’t accommodate early arrivals.
We offer airport shuttles from Boston Logan International Airport to Amherst College on Aug. 22 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ISLs will be at the airport to welcome you and help you to the shuttles. If you coordinate your own transportation to campus, try to arrive between noon and 2 p.m.
During Pre-O, you will have time to set up a U.S. bank account, shop for necessities, meet campus staff, and complete important paperwork.

You can see all of the questions and answers here.

Our next Pre-O meeting is Tuesday, July 16 at 9 a.m. EST (-4 UTC). Staff from Amherst’s health center will answer questions about health services, immunizations, and health insurance. First-year class dean Kiara Vigil will also discuss course registration and academics.

Have a specific question? Submit it beforehand and we’ll try to answer it in our next session!

As always, feel free to reach out to us with any questions at cise@amherst.edu.

Warmly,
Pre-Orientation Committee

David Ko, Director, Center for International Student Engagement
Hanna Bliss, Director, Office of Immigration Services
Clara Danhof '25, Pre-O Intern
