Community Connection 

Global Friendship House—a community of people from many nations and cultures sharing life together. We are a global family near the campus of ODU.

Everyone desires to experience community – no matter where in the world they are from. As an international student coming to a place far from home, it is especially important for you to find community.

Friendships with fellow residents and opportunities to connect to the Norfolk community are a few of the benefits of calling the GLOBE your home.

The GLOBE team loves to talk with our residents and desires to be a safe place for you to share what is on your heart. Our staff are committed, friendly, and have cross-cultural experience. On this page are links to resources we think are helpful. We would love to talk with you more about these topics – please let us know if you want to chat!

Welcome to your new home!
