Meet International Students
Meet virtually with an international student
Schedule a video call with an international student like you to get an insider’s perspective on what it’s like to study abroad at TMU. They can answer any questions you have about student culture, community and life on campus and in the big city.
Need another way to connect? International Student Ambassadors are also available on chat, Monday through Friday.
