What others say about us
"London is an exciting place but arriving at Heathrow Airport
can be a very daunting experience for international students. Friends
International can help students with their immediate needs on arrival,
such as finding the bus or underground station, helping to sort
out the best route to their destination, working the ticket machines
and making a telephone call. Most importantly, representatives of
Friends International provide an initial welcome to international
students which helps them to feel more secure and able to cope with
the new environment."
Jill Thorn, Assistant Registrar (International), Goldsmiths
College, University of London
"I have seen Friends International at work on a university
campus and I have always been very impressed by the sensitive and
co-operative way in which they work. They are a real resource which
is very much appreciated by international students."
Adrian Bowman, Professor of Statistics, University of Glasgow
"The international community in the city is amazing. We have
had so much fun together. I have made friends from all over the
world, many of whom I hope to stay in touch with for a very long
time. One of the major reasons for this community is Friends International.
They have arranged trips, pub nights and lunches among other things.
For many international students, this has been the centre of their
social lives."
Norwegian Erasmus student, Glasgow
