Student Question of the Month
Q: Do you have any info about the Schengen entry restrictions in the US?
A: Yes, we do! According to the latest update from the U.S. Department of State, certain travellers from China, Iran, Brazil, South Africa, the Schengen Area, United Kingdom and Ireland are exempted from travel restrictions under Presidential Proclamations (PPs) 9984, 9992 related to the spread of COVID-19. Students and certain academics covered by exchange visitor programs may be eligible for National Interest Exception (NIE). It’s important to keep an eye on the latest announcements for any changes, but this means that as of now, students from any of the previously mentioned areas could be able to start studying in the US as early as August 2021.

Playing Intramural Sports
Intramural sports are organized within an educational institution and offer the perfect opportunity for students to get involved in a competitive league. No matter what school you attend, chances are there will be a range of intramural sports offered on campus including sports like soccer, volleyball, and softball. If you’re interested in competing with other students, we recommend checking your school’s involvement resources to see what opportunities are available. We also recommend reading our latest blog to get more information on playing intramural sports in college.
