NSU campus
The campus of NSU is located in Norfolk. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. Thanks to international exchange programs at NSU, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
After graduation, you can stay in United States for another year. You can do this by extending your student visa or applying for a job search visa. Look for more immigration options in our article.
