This booklet supplements the Undergraduate Announcement and gives you some basic information concerning international students in the United States and at Princeton University. It deals with U.S. immigration laws and practical matters, such as arrival in the United States, how to get to Princeton from nearby airports, and what to do and where to go when you arrive at the University. And, of course, you are always welcome to write or visit the appropriate offices for additional information.
NOTE: a version of this publication is available in PDF.
