 International House is an independent, self-supporting, non-profit
organization with close ties to the University
of California Berkeley. Our mission is to foster intercultural respect and understanding,
lifelong friendships and leadership skills for the promotion of a more
tolerant and peaceful world. The House achieves its mission by providing
students and scholars from the United States and around the world with
an opportunity to live and learn together in a challenging and supportive
residential and community-oriented program center. Its resources and
activities are designed to stimulate diversity of thought and experience
among residents, alumni worldwide and members of the campus and Bay
Area communities.
The historic and architecturally striking house is conveniently
located in the southeast foothills of the Berkeley campus. Nearly
600 U.S. and international students (primarily at the graduate
level) occupy the house during the academic year, while residents
from late May to mid-August participate in a variety of summer
sessions offered by the campus. International House's rich
array of programs serves the residents, the campus and local community.
