Friendship Family Program

The value of a university experience in another country is more than the opportunities given in the classroom.  You have come to the University of Nevada, Reno and probably want to become acquainted with Americans and gain a deeper insight into the American culture.  The Friendship Family Program provides you with this opportunity by matching you with families from the community.  The family generally contacts you three times each semester to participate in a social activity.  If you are interested, please come by the Office of International Students and Scholars.
