International House of Chicago was founded in 1932 through a gift
from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. It is a coeducational residential and
program center for students from around the world. Each year the House
accommodates over 300 graduate and advanced undergraduate (third and
fourth year students) residents - about half from countries other
than the United States - who are pursuing academic and professional
degrees, preparing in the creative or performing arts, or training
with international firms at one of numerous institutions in the Chicago
area. The mission of International House is to enable students of
different nationalities and cultures to live and learn together in
a community that builds mutual respect, understanding and life-long
friendship.
