“International House has been amazing in fostering an incredibly supportive environment for all of us,
taking care of us and encouraging us to do things to take care of ourselves, both mentally and physically.
I’ve made friends I know will last a lifetime and I’ve had experiences I would never have had otherwise. It’s
been one of the greatest experiences of my life so far and I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

“What made International House really stand out was its diverse community of students. I did not expect
everyone to be so warm and friendly and always looks out for one another. I enjoy living at International
House so much and have such great fun from all the formal dinners, cultural events and wonderful parties.
The meals and the weekly tutorials at International House are also the highlights of my college experience,
which allowed me to make the most out of my studies.”
