  1. Transportation

FOI provides transportation for incoming international students; requests can be made for us to receive them from the airport and drop them off at their respective location in town.

2. Festivities

Friends of India hosts fun and engaging nation-wide celebrations throughout the year. Our signature events include Independence Day and Diwali in the fall semester, and Holi in the spring.

3. Community

At the end of the day, by helping international students settle in to Fayetteville and by introducing campus to Indian culture, we strive to create a strong inter-cultural community.
