Venturing to a foreign country can be tough, especially for the 300 international students at Georgia Southern who leave their home countries to pursue a college education in Statesboro. To ease some of the stress, Georgia Southern University's Center for International Studies tries to make their stay more comfortable by giving students a family away from home. The International Extended Families Program pairs volunteer families from the community with international students allowing students to experience family life in the United States.
