“Both the staff and the students at International House are kind, attentive and supportive. They truly made me feel at home since the day I arrived. This is enhanced by events of many types (academic seminars, barbeques, competitions, formal dinners and parties) running through out the year. The college facilities are excellent too. IH offers a complete breakfast every day, gym, library, study spaces, sport courts and many recreational areas that makes your everyday life enjoyable. Being part of IH allowed me to achieve a high performance in my professional and student life. Undoubtedly, IH was a flawless space for me to experience personal and professional growth. ”
Meet Kiara
“I loved formal dinners, student run events and work opportunities at International House. Movie nights with friends on random Saturday nights or breakfast conversations with the tutors and undergraduates also made the entire experience interesting. From these big things down to even the shortest interactions made my stay at IH. I think the biggest takeaway is also how much living at IH has changed the way I view the world – people come from all different walks of life and geographies, and they teach you about their experiences and worldviews, which I honestly believe I wouldn’t have learned otherwise.”
Meet Aaron
“Living in a college means that you get to be part of a community, make friends, have cultural exchanges and clash of ideas. With 40+ nationalities being represented at IH and many of the students having lived or travelled internationally, it is the perfect place to learn about different cultures, embracing diversity and even learning to be tolerant and accepting. It has definitely broadened my horizons, helped me think outside the box and learned to embrace diversity and value differences; skills which are immensely useful in today’s workforce. One of the most amazing thing about IH is how friendly and helpful everyone is. From staff to students, everyone embraces the core values of IH which includes friendliness, creating a caring community and valuing the differences of different people. The facilities and services are top-notch at IH. Continuous improvement and renovations are made to the facilities and there is a dedicated maintenance team that responds to any maintenance issue swiftly. I must say that living at IH will spoil anyone with regards to the accessibility of facilities, the ease of maintenance and the convenience it provides."

The college provides spacious ensuite rooms with or without kitchenette based on individual preferences. We have everything from library, to gaming area, multi-purpose study room to BBQ lounge. We have a Bobeff café run by undergrads who serve delicious coffee and beverages. At any point if you need anything, there are Duty Tutors, Residential Assistants, Student Committee members and the entire cohort ready to help and support regardless of the situation or issue. From staff to students, the entire community represents the college’s core values of friendliness and respects each other’s cultures.
