Friendship Family Program
关于项目
The Friendship Family Program is an International Programs Office (IPO) initiative that matches international students and scholars with a family in the 莫斯科 area to meet once a semester or more. This is an excellent way for U of I's international students to better understand American conversation, culture and our amazing 莫斯科 community.
