What does it take to have real conversations across differences?
The latest survey says: build belonging first.
90% feel a sense of community. 93% say open dialogue is supported. And students are far less likely to self-censor here than in classrooms.

"When I lived at I-House over 30 years ago, I often shared meals with friends like Balázs from Hungary, Fatema from Iran, Martha from Mexico, and Jumi from Korea. Experiencing such diversity every day truly opened my eyes to the world." Margie Ryan https://t.co/Q9Qf4RlrPa

In this @WIRED story, @IHberkeley_ED highlights the very real consequences of restricting student visas, warning that “for us, it’s a brain drain.” Foreign-born scholars' presence strengthens both academic research and economic growth #HigherEd #UCBerkeley https://t.co/pGZJzGCTji

Diversity has been at the core of the International House community since we opened our doors almost a century ago—and never before has it been under attack like it is today. Read the message by alumna Margie Ryan and help us boost our Scholarship fund: https://t.co/OpobYeilBq

The story of how I-House brought Bonnie Veaner (IH 1983–85) and Peter Parks (IH 1984–85) together echoes the very heart of I-House—the power of community, mutual understanding, and shared experiences. See pics for a glimpse and read the full blog post at: https://t.co/bMLSqrFa09
