The atmosphere at Truman is very welcoming for international students. I found it easy to integrate into the campus community and make a lot of connections with my peers. I also like that cultural organizations, such as Namaste Nepal, Korean American Student Association, Vietnamese Student Association, and more, host events to share their culture.
