International Students

Friendship Program

Want to become friends with a student from a different home country? The Friendship Program is designed to pair international and domestic students with the goal of cultivating friendships and helping international students feel at home in a new place. After filling out a survey, participants are paired based on compatibility and then introduced at our Reveal Mixer!

After the Reveal Mixer, participants are expected to attend two additional Friendship Program Mixers during the semester to spend time with their partner and engage in fun activities together. In addition, partners are encouraged to meet up at other I-House events.
