As a new international student, you can sign up online for your own personal mentor. This mentor will be an upper-class student of the same nationality and/or field of study. Once you are matched with a mentor, he/she can help answer questions you have before you arrive at Penn State. You can send emails, chat online or call one another on the phone.
Your mentor can also help you once you arrive at Penn State. All of our mentors have been instructed to help you with important issues such as culture shock, home sickness, and making new friends.
In the event that a mentor from your same nationality is not available, we will try to fit you with a mentor from the same region. This program is available to undergraduate and graduate students.
To sign up for the Peer Mentor Program go to: http://www.international.psu.edu/iss/peer_mentoring.html
I bet you’ll find that the Peer Mentor Program is a great way to learn more about life at Penn State and to make a new friend!

Be sure to click "Click Here to apply to be a Mentee" at the bottom of the Peer Mentoring information page (http://www.international.psu.edu/iss/peer_mentee_form.php?t=2)
It shouldn't require you to login...if it does, you might be in the wrong spot!
