After you receive your F-1 visa, you should make travel arrangements allowing you to arrive a few days before the first day of class. (For the Spring 2008 semester, classes will begin on January 16. You should try to be on campus no later than January 13.) We will be happy to meet you at Bush Intercontinental Airport (Houston) when you arrive and bring you to the Sam Houston campus if you let us know your flight number and time of arrival at least a week in advance.
