When Angela Castro first came to the University of Minnesota from her native Colombia, she learned her definition of “cold” didn’t apply to Minnesota winter weather.
“I had no idea how cold it was really going to be,” she said. “It was a shock.”
To help international graduate students acclimate to the University, a group of students recently started the Council for International Graduate Students.
CIGS aims to provide international graduate students with an outlet to discuss issues they might face at the University.
