Student Resources
International Student Office
The International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) serves more than 600 international graduate, undergraduate and intensive English students, as well as visiting scholars, research fellows, faculty, and their families. The ISSO assists students in matters revolving around Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations, as well as personal and practical matters related to daily life in the United States, including pre-arrival material, orientation sessions, immigration documents, and employment authorization materials. In conjunction with the International Student Association, the Office also provides a variety of social and educational programs to enhance the Clark experience.
Housing
A limited number of on-campus housing spaces are available for graduate students through the Office of Residential Life and Housing. Incoming students have priority for this housing. Off-campus rooms and apartments for both men and women are available in the immediate Clark area. This listing is available at our office and is updated the 15th and 30th of each month. Students without prior arrangement for University owned housing are urged to arrive before registration to seek suitable housing in the area.
Boston Area
The opportunities found in the city of Worcester expand the boundaries of the traditional classroom, enriching Clark University's students personally and professionally. Clark students embrace their city. They make a difference in the community by volunteering with one of the many student-run outreach groups, or assisting the many local human services organizations. They apply classroom knowledge to internships at city businesses, ranging form medical centers and law firms to design agencies and newspapers. They enjoy the plentiful and varied recreational opportunities of a city with 25,000 students. Other universities are located in cities, but few are as involved with their neighborhood as Clark. The University Park Partnership is a national model of how universities can share their greatest asset - intellectual capital - and instill hope and ambition within their neighbors. Clark University's identity is tied to Worcester. Without easy access to the real-world opportunities of such a city, Clark wouldn't be the same place, nor would our students have the same life-changing experiences.
