Interview of International students
Small
classes, supportive faculty, and individual
attention contribute to each student’s
academic success and social experience. In
this welcoming community, international
students become more fluent speakers of
English, gain skill in connecting knowledge
across disciplines and develop lasting
friendships.
International
students at Franklin Pierce readily
integrate into campus life, taking part in
the honors program, clubs, theatre, music
and other cultural activities as well as
Franklin Pierce’s athletic teams. An active
International Club provides opportunities
for fellowship, trips to local cultural
sites and social events that attract
students from all backgrounds.
