An increasing number of international students are being drawn to Haverford by the promise of intellectual exploration, academic rigor, and close-knit community.

A robust support program for students from abroad eases intercultural adjustment.

"Living abroad challenged me to reexamine how I express myself. What do I say? How and when?
