An increasing number of international students are being drawn to Haverford by the promise of intellectual exploration, academic rigor, and close-knit community. Once here, they must also contend with unfamiliar food and strange American social customs, and a climate that may be outside their comfort zone. A robust support program for students from abroad eases intercultural adjustment.

“Studying abroad was educational in more ways than I ever thought it could be.
"Living abroad challenged me to reexamine how I express myself. What do I say? How and when? After overcoming the exhausting and disembodying effect of linguistic barriers, I eventually embraced the beauty of simplifying my speech. I found it helped me connect more genuinely with others and myself. Living abroad forced me out of my comfort zone to discover a new one." – Dana Duncombe '17
Each year more than 130 Haverford students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.
