The International Student Blog

A few months back, we launched our first venture into the mobile smartphone market with the International Student iPhone App. To widen our user base, we now have the pleasure in launching the Android version of the same application – available free of charge to all android users.

The new android application provides you with all the same functionality of the iPhone application such as instant access to our blog feed, live view of our twitter feed, the opportunity to share information you see with twitter or facebook and much more.

You can now see screenshots of the application on our new mobile application page, which also have information on where to download the applications. You can also download the new Android application directly from:

April 1st 2010 is National Census day in the USA, and the day that the US Census Bureau encourages everyone to mail in their completed forms. If you are not familiar with the US Census, it runs every 10 years and is designed to count every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution. The census is actually really important to local communities as it will help distribute federal aid to areas such as hospitals, schools and emergency services.

For international students currently studying in the USA, you probably think that the census does not involve you – however it is a little known fact that even international students should fill out and complete a census form. This is not an April Fool’s joke, international students and actually everyone in the USA needs to complete the census form. If you have received a census form, complete it and send it along to the US Census Bureau.
