Traveling to the United States

Legal Documents to have in your possession: You may be asked to present all the following at the Port of Entry, so have them easily accessible in your carry-on along with your Airline Tickets:

Passport Visa Document (Form I-20) - If the U.S. Embassy returned your visa document in a

sealed envelope only to be opened by a U.S. Official at the U.S. Port of Entry, please honor this.

UMass Lowell Admissions letter The Original Financial Documentation that you provided to U.S. Embassy or

Consulate. At the Port of Entry to the U.S. you will be issued a Form I-94 (a small white card which will be stapled in your passport. It is also known as your Arrival/Departure record.) You will be the one to complete the information on this card. Be very careful to print your name, date of birth and citizenship correctly. The name should be consistent with how it appears on your passport and visa document (Form I-20). If you provide inaccurate information on this card, it will be complicated to correct it after your arrival at UMass Lowell.

Adjusting to your life at UMass Lowell

Cultural Adjustment When you start your program at Navitas at UMass Lowell, it will be necessary to make a cultural adjustment. It is normal to miss your friends, your family and your home. The Navitas and UMass Lowell community will be here to help you adjust. Here are some ways you can help yourself culturally adjust to studying here.

Be aware that you may experience some sadness or home sickness when you are studying with Navitas at UMass Lowell.

Have a tolerance for ambiguity and for differences. Remain open minded, flexible and

adaptable. Try to suspend judgment until you have looked for the logical reasons behind differences. Be objective and perceptive.

Stay busy. Get involved with activities on the UMass Lowell campus. You may find that you can continue with the same sports or hobbies you did in your home country.

Find an American to be a “cultural informant” who will help you gain proper perspective. Be curious and ask questions about your new surroundings and the American customs. People will enjoy responding to your interest in understanding the American culture.

Focus on the positive things about UMass Lowell and living in the U.S.

Keep your self- confidence. Believe you can do it and keep in mind the many strengths and advantages you will have when you succeed with your studies in the United States.

Living with a roommate If you have never lived with a roommate before, there will be an adjustment period after you first move in. Don’t worry, many American students have never lived with a roommate before either, and living with a roommate can be a lot of fun.

Here are some hints to living with a roommate:

Be friendly- If you are nice and friendly to your roommate it is likely to be reciprocated.

Be understanding- Try to see the motives behind your roommate’s actions and help if you can.

Give your roommate some peace and quiet sometimes- It’s great to have conversation,

however everyone needs time to be alone and of course, to study.

Do not use your roommate’s belongings- If there is something that you would like to use, ask!

Keep it clean- Help keep the room clean, no one wants to live in filth.

Talk it out- If you are having a problem with your roommate, talk to them. A good relationship

with your roommate will require some give and take.

Treat you roommate as you wish to be treated- it is as easy as that.

Navitas at UMass Lowell

Be aware of your personal belongings at all times during your travel. It is unsafe to carry a lot of cash, so please try not to carry more than $1000. We will help you arrange for a bank account in Lowell in your first week so that money can be wired or deposited. Your on-campus meal plan provides for 19 meals per week during the regular semester. If you choose to eat off-campus, meals generally cost $5-10 for breakfast, $5-15 for lunch, and $10-40 for dinner. During certain US holiday periods, on-campus food choices will be limited.
