To prepare for your trip and studies at Troy University , we have put together a MANDATORY pre-arrival orientation. Please follow this link to the Pre-Arrival Orientation.
Troy University provides complimentary (free) pick up from the Montgomery airport, Montgomery Greyhound bus station, and Montgomery Megabus station for all new international students.
