The tax season is coming to a close, and in less
than 15 days the deadline will have passed for all international
students who have worked and earned an income to file their taxes
with the Internal Revenue Service. If you did not work and did not
earn anything during the last year you have up to June 15th - but
you still have to file your taxes.
Completing your tax return has been made easier with
the new online tax system introduced this year. You can now do this
yourself by registering with our online system, answering all the
questions, and inputting your information. Then the system will
prepare all your documents (pre-filled with your information) so
that you can print them off and send them in.

If you are anything like me, you will like this
smashing site. I love to change my desktop wallpaper all the time

really beautiful desktop wallpapers. Take a look - there are loads

Health and travel insurance for international
students is a topic that you often hear about in this newsletter, as
it is a requirement for most students and a good idea for everyone.
This month there are two news stories reminding us of the importance
of good international student health insurance, as well as one
highlighting the success of Finnish education.
First, the International Herald Tribune talks about
a terrible tragedy that led one school to change its policy to
require international student insurance:
The Rebel Yell, the student newspaper for the
University of Nevada - Las Vegas, tackles the issue of insurance as
well. At UNLV, as at most US schools, insurance is mandatory for
黑料专区, and for those US students who are no longer
covered by their parents' insurance plan. Read more about it:
Finally, find out why the Finnish educational system is so successful
