Intercultural Connections Community

The Intercultural Connections Community is a special opportunity within the University Apartments for undergraduate students who are interested in an international living experience and who want to live in a family-friendly community. The Intercultural Connections Community is perfect for students with an interest in diversity, global/international affairs, or study abroad. Through a wide range of programming and educational opportunities, we seek to foster personal growth, global awareness, and promote intercultural competence. Our hope is that students who actively engage in this program will become more competitive in the global marketplace. All newly admitted, single, first year students without previous college experience who are under 21 years of age and do not live with their parents are required by University regulations to live and eat in a residence hall for their first two consecutive semesters. Such students may not live in the Intercultural Connections Community until their third semester at CSU. Please visit the Residence Hall pages for more information.
