International students are picked up at the airport and are informed of their accommodation arrangements.
The program aims at introducing them to life in Egypt generally and life at MIU specifically. This takes place throughout the first few days upon arrival by giving students a tour of the campus and the city.
The International Office organizes several events each semester to ensure an active social life for its international students. For example, students are invited to attend the Welcome Party given for freshman students, and the End of Year party. Students are also invited to participate in the International Day, where they represent their country in a one-day festival, wearing their costumes and presenting their food, and culture in a booth designed for them.
Interested foreign students who would like to learn the language, not just from the books and classes are invited to take part in this program. Foreign students teach their language to MIU students and MIU students in turn teach them the Arabic language.
Each foreign student has an assigned counter MIU student who takes care of him/her stay in case of any arising problems and if he/she needs counseling.
