International Friends Community Application

Friendship Program

Residents of Fort Collins and the surrounding area welcome international students and scholars to our community through the International Friends program. Families, couples or individuals are matched with students according to shared interests and agree to get together at least once a month. This is not a live-in arrangement. Community members and international students build friendships while sharing and experiencing each other's unique culture.

Home-Stay Program

Upon arrival in August or January, interested international students are invited to stay in the homes of local families for three to five nights while they seek more permanent housing.

You may sign up for either program or both.
