OISS New Student Orientation at WSU

 
Sushan Ru

Sushan Ru Hi, I'm Sushan. I will go to WSU tri-cities on August 14th, however, I don't know whether there is OISS in tri-cities. Now I cannot find a proper house since tri-cities don't offer apartments now. What's more, I don't know how to go to school from the airport in tei-cities. Can you give me some advise? Thanks a lot.

Sushan,

Maja Nyvang C Hi, I am coming from Denmark, and I may arrive before the 15th(where you pick people up). Are there any public transportation when the flight lands(it does so only 11:17pm from Seattle)? And is it possible to "check in" on Campus at that time at night?(I am suppose to live on Campus) Thank you in advance. Maja

Hi Maja,
Here is a link to local taxi information. You should be able to get to campus easily. http://www.pullman-wa.gov/airport/puw/services.html

As for checking into your residence hall, I would suggest that you check with Mary Braun in the Housing Office, mbraun@wsu.edu. She will be able to check your housing assignment and know if someone will be available to let you into your room at that time of the evening.

Xinmin Yu

Xinmin Yu hi, I'm a new PhD student in this fall 2009, and I'm about to arrive on 11pm, 5th Aug. I'd like to know if I could ask my roommate, who would arrive on Aug 3rd, to pick up all the keys so that I could get in right after my arrival? My apartment is in Steptoe. Thx!

Andrey Perevalov

Andrey Perevalov Thank you for help. But if there are any conflicts, what has more priority?

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU Andrey...the orientations for graduate students from OISS and your department should not conflict too much. We have been working closely with the Grad School and will be coordinating with them on August 17 & 18. OISS will leave most of August 19-21 open for your departmental orientation. Please be prepared to start orientation on August 17th. We will give you the schedule for the week on that day. See you soon!

Andrey Perevalov

Andrey Perevalov I've been admitted to WSU as a Graduate Student and Teaching Assistant. In addition to orientation for international students I'll have to recieve training for Teaching Assistants held by Dept. of Physics and Astronomy. Won't schedules of these events interfere?

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU Hi Meng....currently, the schedule is showing only 2 flights each day on August 15 & 16. We will have Orientation Assistants and all flights on both of those days to pick up new students from the airport.

Meng Han

Meng Han It's delightful to join in the OISS New Student Orientation at WSU. There is a matter. How many flights from Seattle to Pullman each day? If I got late at night, could you guys also pick me up?

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU Hi Simon,
Unfortunately, we are only able to pick students up on the 15th & 16th only. If you arrive on August 14th, you will need to find other transportation. Here is a link to some local taxi services: http://www.pullman-wa.gov/airport/puw/services.html

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU Stephy, You will need to check with the Housing office about your father staying in your room or not.

Simon Guo

Simon Guo Hi there. I am a newly admitted graduate student for WSU from China. It's really great that I got the news you could pick students up at pullman airport on August 15th and 16th.Thank you for your kind behavoir. But there is a problem for me. The direct flight from Beijing to Seattle arrives at Seattle at 11:45AM, and this flight is once every week (7th August or 14th August), so I could only take the seattle-pullman flight to arrive Pullman at 11:30PM on 14th August, or I should stay one more night in Seattle, which it is really inconvinent. So I wonder whether it is possible that maybe you could kindly pick me up at pullman airport at the late night on August 14th. Could you please give me a hand? Thanks a lot!!!

Stephy Chen

Stephy Chen Can my father stay with me too?

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU Hi Stephy....yes, the Residence Halls will be available the weekend before orienation begins. Please make your plans in adavance with the Housing Office. You may contact Mary Braun directly with any housing questions, mbraun@wsu.edu See you in August!

Stephy Chen

Stephy Chen Hi,there! I will attend the international orientation this fall! And my father will be coming with me. Is the residence hall opened by the time? If not, where should I and my father live?

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU

OISS New Student Orientation at WSU Hi Behrang.....unfortunately there is nothing we can do to help expedite your visa. You will simply need to let the visa process run it's course. If you still don't have your visa by early August, please contact Wakana Ackerman, wakana@wsu.edu. She is one of our International Student Advisors and will be able to with the options for late-arrival or deferring admission if necessary.
