Which university is most international student-friendly in the US?

I'm an international student planning to study in the US. I'd like to know which universities are considered the most friendly and supportive for international students. Any recommendations or experiences would be really helpful!

When considering the friendliness of a university towards international students, it's important to look at a few factors: the percentage of international students at the university, the international student services that are offered, and the presence of international student organizations and communities.

From these perspectives, universities such as New York University (NYU), University of Southern California (USC), and Northeastern University stand out.

NYU is known for attracting a high number of international students and has a comprehensive program for international student orientation which helps students acclimate to studying in the US. They also provide a myriad of resources to address the unique challenges faced by international students.

USC has one the highest percentages of international students of any US university. USC's Office of International Services offers a variety of resources, such as information on legal services, summer programs, and social activities.

Northeastern University, in Boston, has also shown a strong commitment to international students. They not only offer comprehensive support services but also a Global Student Success program that provides language and academic support.

Also, keep in mind that universities in global cities, such as Los Angeles, Boston, and New York, can often seem more international student-friendly due to the diversity and inclusivity within the cities themselves.

Remember, the right fit for one may not be the same for another. It's important to research each university and consider your own personal needs and circumstances.
