International Students in the San José Area

IFG is:

• A group where international students and visiting scholars can feel at home and meet some local people from the community
• A group where you can have fun and visit some interesting local sites
• A group where you can get to know other international students
• A group where you can get to know an American family or individual for friendship during your time here.

While most of the students come from San José State University, students from all universities are invited to participate. We also have some internationals who are working in Silicon Valley, so if you have graduated, you are also invited to attend.

The group will normally have weekly activities four times a month.  Three of these activities will be on Friday evening, normally from 7pm until 8:30 pm.  The fourth activity will be some type of adventure on Saturday where we explore some interesting place in the Bay area.
