<p>My roommate is from Lesotho, and he didn’t leave a phone number and he doesn’t have an IU email address. He’s not in the IU Directory either so I’m naturally quite confused. Do internationals register at a later time therefore making their information not available?</p>
<p>I think anyone who can’t attend orientation registers when they arrive in August. I’m not sure if this is the reason that his contact info isn’t listed though.</p>
<p>Have you checked Facebook?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure international students don’t register until late August right before move-in, so that’s probably the reason why.</p>
<p>my roommate’s phone no. n iu mail is shown n she’s from china.</p>
<p>I realized that he hasnt registered yet, so I know why he doesn’t have the email and directory listing.</p>
<p>I couldn’t find him on Facebook, but his name had so many weird symbols in it that I probably butchered it pretty badly. When I tried to copy/paste the name on RPS into the Search bar on Facebook, it took the symbols away.</p>
<p>I don’t know why but I don’t like the way this is going.</p>
<p>sounds really weird that there r symbols in his name. maybe there was an error.
you should email/call the school n ask about it.</p>

<p>Sorry, I was just trying to help. Your response contradicts your original inquiry of “Do internationals register at a later time therefore making their information not available?”</p>
<p>I’m international and my roommate is Chinese and our information showed up clearly. I’m pretty sure every internationals are assigned a Pre-Arrival Checklist and required to set up an IU computer account as the 3rd step.I think you should call rps, there must be some problem.</p>
<p>@ Lena22: The symbols were from his language.</p>
<p>@ hi<em>im</em>leila: I sounded rude, sorry, I meant that I had become aware of that after you brought it up. I knew he hadn’t registered yet but I didn’t know if internationals registered later. So thanks.</p>
<p>@ Changchen: I will call tomorrow.</p>
<p>my roomate’s from china and it had a phone number and email</p>
<p>I got a new roommate. The Lesotho guy wasn’t going to IU. That explains the lack of contact info.</p>
