Ratings and reviews

Its not letting me register. When I click on 'city' it just shows up blank and doesn't give me any choices on the cities so therefore I cannot register. Would've been nice to explore the app. So sorry but uninstalled.

Excellent app with lots of useful resources and events for international students!

Keeps saying student. Not being funny but a student can be as young as 11 years old. Not interested.
