International Student Orientation

During Orientation, you will discover Washington College and the surrounding waterfront town of Chestertown, Mayland. You will meet other international and domestic students while learning important information that will help your transition to Washington College be smooth and successful. There will be time to get student IDs, set up bank accounts, shop, and get American cell phones. 

The orientation program aims to (1) help you with the initial adjustment and acclimatization to the U.S. and Washington College; (2) ensure that you have an overview of the academic system in the U.S. and time to meet with your advisor; (3) meet and get to know other international students and incoming U.S. students; (4) familiarize you with campus and the community of Chestertown.

If you have any questions about the orientation program, do not hesitate to contact us at geo@washcoll.edu.
