Unpacked, the Edmonds College OIP podcast
Welcome to Unpacked, the Edmonds College OIP podcast where we dive into the real stories
of international students and “unpack” their experience.
Each episode, we sit down with students, alumni, and staff to explore the journey of studying in the U.S.—from first impressions and cultural surprises to building friendships and finding a sense of belonging far from home.
Whether you’re a current student, considering Edmonds College, or simply curious about international education, you’ll find connection, insight, and community here.
Let’s get Unpacking!
Episode 1: Unpacking First Impressions
Coming August 11, 2025
