The University of Findlay is proud to count nearly 300 international students among its current student population. According to the 1996-97 Open Doors Report, the University ranks eighth in the nation among undergraduate institutions in the percentage of international students among its student body. Mixing with this large group of international students helps our U.S. students become more globally aware. The international students study in the Intensive English Language Programs as well as our other undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Your son or daughter will have the opportunity to be a lab partner or classmate with students from approximately 30 countries of the world.
Various opportunities exist on our campus for meeting and sharing information.
Your son or daughter may volunteer to be a Conversation Partner to an international student learning English. Each international student is paired with a campus or community volunteer who meets with him or her for at least one hour each week. Another beneficial opportunity is living in one of the University s international houses. Men s and women s houses are conveniently located on the northern edge of campus. American students and international students live together and learn about each other s cultures by sharing food, celebrating holidays, learning new words, customs, and other bits of cultural information.
