General
- How many International Students do you currently have?
We currently have 14 international students: three from Canada, two from Kazakhstan, one each from Russia, the Ukraine, Romania, China, Kenya, South Korea and three students from Japan.
- Can a student get around town without a car?
Yes, we provide a shuttle service to all local banks, grocery stores and other places of interest once a week. Also, those international students who do have cars are always willing to give rides.
- Can I get a job?
International students with an F-1 visa are eligible to work on campus up to 19 hours a week. Campus jobs are available, but are highly competitive and not guaranteed. Starting wage for the first year of employment is $5.25/hour and goes up to $5.75/hour when you return to the same job for a second year.
- Do I need health care while in the United States?
Health care is very expensive in the U.S. Most Americans purchase medical or accident insurance to help pay for much of this high cost, especially for hospitalization, surgery, and emergency treatment. The international student is STRONGLY URGED to purchase a medical insurance policy while enrolled at Central Wyoming College. Forms and information may be obtained in the Dean of Student Services office.
