Travel arrangements include your flight to the U.S. and Minnesota as well as the shuttle needed to get to our main campus in St. Cloud. 

We suggest arriving at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and scheduling a shuttle to St. Cloud State University with Groome Transportation.

Plan and pack your luggage early. Check your airline's luggage restrictions to make sure your bags are not overweight and that you have the correct amount of luggage pieces. 

For your carry-on bag: I-20/DS-2109, passport with visa, boarding pass(es), a change of clothing, something to read, snacks, headphones, toothbrush/toothpaste, and important medications.
