ARRIVAL & GETTING SETTLED
Will you be arriving at UIUC? Let us know so we can welcome you (temporary housing also available). We look forward to meeting you!
FRIENDSHIP PARTNER PROGRAM
Improve your English with the help of a native English speaker. We have American volunteers who are willing to meet with you for an average of one hour per week.
LIFE & BIBLE DISCUSSION OPPORTUNITIES
Build meaningful friendships by meeting regularly with a small group of other international students and American volunteers to learn more about the Bible.
International students often struggle with culture shock, stress, and loneliness when leaving their homes to study in the US. International Friendships, Inc. (IFI) is a national organization partnering with local churches, universities, and volunteers to provide life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students. We work strategically to make the world feel at home and extend God’s love globally — right where we are.
