AT MUW Part of Mississippi University for Women's mission is to develop a greater understanding of self and the world. With 65 students from 28 countries, The W is committed to providing a truly international community, one that is becoming larger and more diverse each year. The Office of International Programs assists international students with their individual needs and develops programs to help international students gain a more complete cultural experience while studying and living here. The ISA also acts as a support group to help with adjustment to college life in the U.S.A. Recent ISA events have included a trip to Memphis, hosting a luncheon of international cuisine, fashion shows of native costumes, picnics, campus-wide international dance party, a visit to a local children's home and meeting American families in the Columbus community. More than 900 students live in the residence halls where all rooms have a microwave, refrigerator and internet connection.
Rooms are suite-style where two rooms of two people share one bathroom.
All students living on campus eat on one of the meal plans at the cafeteria. The University also owns and manages about 50 apartments for married and single parent students and their families. Students who choose to live off campus can find accommodations in apartment complexes and houses near the MUW campus. MUW students who live off campus still enjoy proximity to classes and campus activities. The W is a great place for international students.
