MSU International Students Preview

6,599.

That is the number of international students enrolled at Michigan State University, according to the 2012 Statistical Report done by the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS). This number is a 70 percent increase from five years prior when OISS reported 3,869 international students enrolled at MSU in the fall 2007 semester.

With such a significant percentage increase in just five years, one might wonder why it is that so many international students choose to come to MSU?

Living in a new country that has a completely different culture and language from one’s own could place a large amount of pressure on someone, so OISS has a variety of programs available to ease the transition into American culture for international students.
