International Friends Program, MSU

International students have left friends/family/support system to come to study (in a second language). They enjoy building a friendship with someone from US to visit with once or every other week, or once a month to share dinner, and simply to enjoy time together. These students are eager to get to know you and share cultures. Consider if you had a son/daughter, niece/nephew, or anyone in your family/life that were to travel to a new country, wouldn't it be nice to know that someone was there for there to help them adjust and learn about that new culture?

A host may be someone single, a couple (with or without children), and of any economic demographics. The students remain living on campus and there is no financial responsibility to hosts/families. All a host needs is an open heart. It's the least investment one can make with the greatest rewards!
