Welcome to Idaho State University! We are excited to welcome you into the Bengal Family. As you begin to navigate the campus and local community, it is likely you will run into some confusing cultural differences. Even the most prepared students who have done extensive research on American culture may come up against situations that they don't understand. To aid in your transition, we have collected the following resources for you to refer to if you find yourself needing some additional assistance. You can also always reach out the the International Programs Office for their expertise.
