For someone on a journey in the desert, an oasis is a place of rest and refreshment. An oasis provides shade from the heat and water to quench thirst. It is a place of hospitality and a place to prepare for the rest of your journey. Everyone needs a place like that – a place where you feel welcome and have a chance to rest and refresh. This is especially true of international students who are far away from home and are living in a different culture where it is easy to feel alone. International Student Oasis wants to be your “oasis” during your time at University of Kentucky.
