International Students

At Kalamazoo College, “the world is our campus.” Diversity of experience and thought foster academic and personal growth. As an international student, you can play a unique part in the fierce social discourse that takes place at K.  International Students are a pivotal part of what makes our community great. K attracts dedicated students from all over the world; currently 31 countries represent students of varied religions, ethnicities, and backgrounds. International students make up 8% of our student body.

The K experience is unique because all students make a strong effort to better understand and positively influence the world around them. Even though students come from a variety of places around the world, they still choose to participate in all facets of the K-Plan. Whether it is abroad or locally, our students engage themselves passionately in the world. At K, you will find a supportive, diverse, and socially-conscious community, rigorous academic challenges, and a place that will welcome you warmly. We like to say that once you are here, you can do “more in four,” so you can do “more in a lifetime!”

We know visiting campus is not always an option (especially from half-way across the world!) so skyping and phone interviews are available. If you are interested in chatting with an admissions representative face-to-face, email our visit coordinator Elyse Dunsford to set up an interview.
