While you’re studying in the United States, don’t miss out on the true American college experience. Be part of the Bloomfield College community by getting involved in as many activities as you can and taking advantage of our free services. Making friends and keeping busy is the best cure for homesickness.
As current international students, we ask that you continue to educate yourself regarding the F-1 regulations. The documents found on this webpage provide critical information to help you maintain your legal status. Additional support is provided through the International Student Orientation, the Employment Options Workshop for F-1 Students, and individual counseling sessions.
Support services provided by your International Student Advisor are as follows:
- ADVICE: Advisement on immigration and other governmental regulations.
- SUPPORT: Organize orientation and continued assistance.
- ADVOCACY: Represent and voice your interests, needs and concerns.
- PROGRAMMING: Offer opportunities for campus and community involvement through International Club.
