International House, New York


"That Brotherhood May Prevail"

I finally got around to framing this sketch of where I lived in New York City.
It's the International House at Columbia.
The I-House was our home, our haven and will forever be a welcomed site.
It's located at 500 Riverside Drive, New York, NY
If you're ordering Manhattan's awesome Chinese takeout, make sure you give the back entrance address...
but that's a whole other story in itself. (yes, i got chewed out in Chinese)

The International House opened in 1924, it was an experiment in multinational human relations. 500 graduate students, one third from the United States and two thirds from almost 100 countries live together. My husband and I were fortunate to get in and are so grateful for BYU's relationship with them. The Upper West Side of Manhattan is gorgeous. In its 60 year history, the I-House has served over 50,000 students from around the world. Many former residents became leaders in the government or in the educational and cultural institutions of their countries.
