Getting Settled

Arrival Assistance and Hospitality for New Students

Coming to a new country can be challenging, confusing, and sometimes frightening.  IFO can send one of our families to meet you upon your arrival at the airport and provide transportation to your apartment or dorm.  If necessary, IFO can even provide you with temporary housing. We can also arrange for someone to take you to local stores to purchase needed items and groceries

If you need any of the assistance mentioned above, please let us know by clicking the appropriate link below:

If you are a new student and need to arrange to be picked up at the airport, or to set up temporary housing arrangements, please click on the link below:
