Combating Culture Shock
You've had your whole
life to become familiar with your home country's culture but
what happens when you are exposed to an entirely new country and
culture? International students are very likely to experience
something called culture shock. Culture shock happens when the
cultural aspects of a new country become overwhelming, and it
can seriously affect your mental health. Learn more about what
culture shock is, the four stages that students go through and

Tax Season in the US is Here
Tax season is here again
and so is our Online Wizard for the IRS Tax Form 8843. Every
international student in the US, and each of their dependents,
is required to fill out this form even if they did not receive
income last year. Our Tax Form 8843 Wizard simplifies the
daunting task of completing this form and keeps your information
safe by discarding data associated with the form. Provide the
Wizard with the required information and it will populate the
form for you; all you have to do after that is print, sign and
mail your form to the IRS. Check it out and get your Form 8843
done ahead of the April 15th deadline!
