The diversity of cultural backgrounds represented by our students makes it imperative that our faculty and administrative staff provide resources and facilities that help address our students' daily needs. They include: financial aid counseling, health insurance and medical assistance, psychological counseling, student advisory, visa and residence permit advisory, cultural adaptation, and academic advisory. There are program-specific student organizations that provide other forms of support, e.g., the English Program Students' Union (EPSU); and the following culture-specific ones: North American Student Government (NASG), Norwegian Student Government, and Poznan Taiwanese Student Government (PTSG).
English-speaking medical students may join different varsity sports teams for regional and national competitions in a myriad of sports disciplines.
Students who reside in the four dorms designated to PUMS have created a Residential Advisor system to act as dorm counselors and mediators on each floor occupied by international student residents. Its goal is to foster a sense of community and to ensure that the dorm life provides to everyone all required amenities and a sense of comfort in this home away from home.
