This document is about the 2009 New Student Handbook, which provides information about the Santa Clara University Taiwanese Student Association, including climate preparation, applying for I-20, and items to bring from Taiwan.
The manual provides step‑by‑step instructions for Taiwanese students arriving at Santa Clara University. It explains seasonal clothing recommendations, required documents for the -20 request form, and essential health‑check paperwork.
It also details practical matters such as opening bank accounts, applying for a Social Security Number, finding off‑campus housing, using local transportation, and selecting compatible mobile phones and electrical appliances. This manual is written in Chinese.
You must fill out the -20 request form and attach proof of financial resources and all other required documents.
Visit the Social Security Office after receiving the confirmation letter from the International Student Office.
Use the SCU off‑campus housing website or sites like Craigslist, Apartments.com, and local newspapers.
