Getting Help with the Settling-In Process
Princeton University has a variety of resources to help you as you settle-in to your life in the U.S. It is common for students in U.S. universities to seek assistance that will help them solve problems and ease their adjustment. If you are facing challenges whether it is related to the classroom culture, making friends, English language skills, managing your finances, or feeling sad and homesick – we encourage you to reach out and ask for assistance.
