International students feel at home here. Because of our small size, they can adapt to the English language and the American culture at their own pace. They are afforded the opportunities to become involved in a wide array of activities and become integral members of the Notre Dame family. The Notre Dame community is aware of the challenges that international students face when they come to school in the United States, and we work hard to help the students get acclimated to life here. This not only helps international students succeed here at Notre Dame, it also gives each student a firm foundation for success in college and beyond.
