Welcome to Buffalo ISI!

Are you a student looking for information on programs and activities for students?  Go to UB, or Buffalo State

Buffalo International Students, Inc serves international students at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) and Buffalo State College. 

As a Christian organization, ISI serves international students as a way of sharing Christ's love, in obedience to Christ's command to love your neighbor as yourself.  Our programs and activities are open to all international students or scholars and their families, whether you are a Christian or have a different religious faith or no faith at all.  For those who are Christians or are interested in learning about Christianity, ISI also offers Christian fellowship and Bible study opportunities.  

ISI partners with Americans in the community, so it's activities are a great place for students to make friends with Americans.
