Bozeman Friends of International Students
The Office of International Programs (OIP) at MSU would like to extend an invitation
to participate in the
Bozeman Friends of International Students (BFIS) program. BFIS is a cross-cultural
exchange program designed
to encourage friendships between our international students and the local Bozeman
community, to facilitate
the exchange of ideas and culture. All international students are encouraged to participate.
Participation in the BFIS program provides you with immediate exposure to a local
American family to provide
support as you adjust to your new environment. Your BFIS family will help you with
transportation, take you
shopping, invite you to their home for dinner, and include you in holiday celebrations.
As your relationship
grows, you will likely see your BFIS family more often.
To participate in the BFIS program, please complete the short questionnaire on the
following page and return it
to international@montana.edu.

It is our aim to place you with a BFIS family that is the best fit for both you and the family. Even though we take every measure to successfully place a student with the most appropriate BFIS family, please understand that it can be difficult to meet every request.
