| Getting to know Americans in your community can be a big challenge
when you are from another culture. Remaining in your own cultural
group will deprive you of the rich cross-cultural opportunities
that many students experience when they trust International Friends.
International students know they can count on International Friends
to provide a wide variety of activities to satisfy their specialized
interests in a safe environment.
Our staff and volunteers are Christians committed to serving the
international student community and trained to respect your culture
and beliefs. International students and scholars will tell you
that we are the kind of people who show God抯 love in action rather
than just talk about it. We all appreciate the kind of friend
who is willing to look after our best interests. This is the goal
for you in every International Friends activity.
Do you like to Travel? There is nothing quite like a face-to-face
encounter with the natural beauty of America. The problem is either
having the time to see it, or enough money to do it. We will have
short trips to near-by places of interest where you can do interesting
activities and see interesting people and places.
