"Great Idea! HOME will allow students to learn more about themselves. Students generally spend most of their time in their residence hall, therefore, a hall like HOME will be a great tool of cultural education in a magnificent atmosphere of diversity!" - Mohammed Tantawi, Egypt

"The project will give all students involved a hands-on experience of multiculturalism as opposed to just attending a lecture in a classroom. Faculty affiliation will benefit the whole student body." - Luis Maravi, Peru

"HOME...a place where east meets west and where multiculturalism will flourish." - Radhika Angara, India

"As a person and prospective journalist, I am insatiably curious. I want to know about everything and everyone and I enjoy learning about how and why people are different. I like to challenge myself, try new things and meet new people. Living in a multicultural hall will give me the opportunity to learn about other cultures, traditions, and beliefs by forming a community and individual friendships with international students. Being at Ithaca College is not only about learning from text books, but more importantly, about learning from people." - Kristin Haegele, U.S.

"I've learned a lot from living in the U.S. ...this will be my chance to share my stories from home." - Sumona (Rini) Banjeree, India

"IC will be a more integrated campus with a greater multicultural awareness. HOME is a sensitive program that takes into consideration the housing concerns of international students during holidays." - Maira Pires, Brazil
