Metro International was founded in 1977 by a group of foreign student
advisers at seven New York-area universities, who sought to provide international
undergraduate and graduate students with a bridge between their isolated
campus environments and the broader New York community.
Out of this early effort grew a series of orientation programs and publications designed to help international students cope with the unique demands of living and studying in New York City, while getting them out of the classroom, off
campus, and into the community. Throughout the years, Metro International has found that sharing personal experiences is the most effective way to transform citizens of all nations into citizens of the world of life.
Now more than ever, creating understanding between individuals from different nations is essential for a better future. By profoundly affecting Americans and international students alike, Metro International is creating a worldwide movement of informed critical thinkers, problem solvers and leaders.
