Cosmopolitan Comrades

Do you want to have a cosmopolitan comrade? Our guess is yes! And since our guess is yes, our guess is that you will also fill out an exciting entrance form and thus begin your journey into a possibly uncharted territory of having a cosmopolitan comrade (or simply, friend)!

After being matched with a student from a different cultural background, you will want to meet with your partner about once a week; both because we recommend such action, as well as the fact that we intuit that you will genuinely enjoy spending time with your comrade.

There will be multiple, scheduled excursions and activities throughout the semester that will not only provide an opportunity for the comrades to strengthen their own relationship, but also to enjoy time together as a large comrade conglomeration.  This time will be beneficial for international students to see and experience American culture while giving American students the opportunity to learn about cultures contrasting (or sometimes even comparing) from their own. 

Examples of activities:
·         Amish Country
·         Cedar Point
·         Franklin Park Conservatory (nifty flowers)
·         Music and theatre events
·         Ice Skating
·         Shopping
·         Zoo
·         Ethnic culinary exploration
·         Outdoor activities, such as hiking and canoeing
·         Large group soccer

·         And many more (please feel free to provide suggestions, as well)
