Questions
Before you decide.
Who is First Year America for?+
International students starting life in the United States, and the families supporting them. We're starting with international student-athletes, but our support is for international students of every kind.
Do you help with visas or immigration?+
No. Immigration questions belong with your school's international student office and qualified immigration professionals. We help you stay organized and know which office to ask — we never promise visa outcomes.
Can you guarantee housing, scholarships or a roster spot?+
No. We help you plan and coordinate, but we can't guarantee housing availability, scholarships, roster spots or any decision made by a school or third party.
What can my family see?+
Only what the student chooses to share, one category at a time — for example arrival confirmation or selected school dates. Everything is private by default. Support conversations, internal notes, documents and location are never shared.
Is this an emergency service?+
No. We respond during service hours. In an emergency in the US, call 911, and for campus emergencies call campus police or security.
How is my care plan created?+
From your onboarding answers, using clear written rules — for example, if your housing isn't confirmed, your plan includes securing housing. Each task tells you why it's there. We don't use AI to decide official requirements.
Are third-party costs included in the price?+
Some are. The Arrival Bundle includes your airport ride, a bedding and toiletries starter kit, your first month of phone service and two weeks of getting around. Rent, meal plans, groceries, insurance and other costs are paid directly to those providers, and we give you a written estimate before arrival.
