Dear Fellow Iranian Student/Applicant
The Iranian Student Association takes this opportunity to welcome all new Iranian students to North Carolina State University. Below is some helpful information in settling down to life at NC State. We hope your stay here will be enjoyable, fruitful and extraordinary! If you have admission from NCSU, then you probably have received some information from the university. We would, also, like to draw your attention to a few specific issues that you will be facing when you arrive at NCSU:
What to bring You may not have enough time for extensive shopping during your first months at NCSU; thus, it would help to bring along some extra clothing and personal items. If you like, you can bring some traditional foods or seasonings but you really do not need to pay for your overweight baggage to bring many things that you can easily find here at low price.
The temperature drops down sometimes below the freezing point in the winter. You will see few snows, but it does rain frequently. In summers, it is quite hot and humid, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius; therefore, it helps to have enough clothing. Furthermore, it would be helpful for you to bring a towel and bed sheet.
How to get to the NCSU campus from the airport Office of International Students (OIS) offers airport pickup and arranges temporary housing for new students. You can find out information about this in your admission package.
More questions As it has been the case for all of us, you may come up with more questions. If so, do not hesitate to contact us; we will be more than happy to assist you. Feel free to e-mail us.
