STUDENTS

The International Friendship Program (IFP) is here to love and serve you.  We value you!  IFP will give you the opportunity to learn, first hand, about American culture and for you to share your culture with an American.  Hopefully, it will give you the opportunity to build a close friendship with a local American friend, a friendship which may last a life time.  We hope that you will choose to be a part of our community during your time here at SMU.

If you would like to apply to be matched with an American friendship partner, please fill out the student application on the right.  The more information you tell us about yourself will help us in making a good match in partnering you.

We also have some helpful resources and events to guide you in your adjustment to life in the United States, so be sure to check out those areas of this website.

Welcome to Dallas, SMU and the United States!  We are so glad you are here!
