The International Friends' Program:

"Bridging Cultures through Friendship"

The International Friends Program (IFP) promotes friendship and cultural exchange by matching current FAU students with new, incoming international students in order to help them adjust to life at FAU more easily. The peer friends serve as important resources for new international students who have many questions and concerns during their transition to FAU. For more information and to read some commonly asked questions about the IFP, please visit our information sheet.
