FSU campus
The educational institution has a suburban campus. This means that students study close to a big city and can quickly get to it by public transport. At the same time, this location allows you to create a close-knit student community, since all events are held on campus. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. FSU accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
After graduation, students are allowed to stay in United States for a year. During this time, graduates can find a job and change their student visa to a work one. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
