MIU Support Program For International Students
Welcome Service: International students are picked up at the airport and are informed of their accommodation arrangements.
Orientation Program: 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 the students a tour.
Social Activities: The International Office organizes several events per semester to ensure an active social life for its international students.For example, students are invited to attend the Welcome Party made for freshman students, end of the year party. Students are also invited to participate in the International Day where they represent their country in a one day festival, representing their costumes, food, and culture in a booth designed for them.
Language Program: Interested foreign students who would like to learn the language not only 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.
Amigo Program: Each foreign student has an assigned counter MIU student who takes care of him/her during his/her stay in case of any arising problems and if needed counseling.

Famous quotes containing the words support, program and/or students:
“To suppose such a thing possible as a society, in which men, who are able and willing to work, cannot support their families, and ought, with a great part of the women, to be compelled to lead a life of celibacy, for fear of having children to be starved; to suppose such a thing possible is monstrous.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“Navajo men and boys have an odd way of showing their friendship. When two young men meet at the trading post, a “Sing”, or a dance they greet each other, inquire about the health of their respective families, then stand silently some ten or fifteen minutes while one feels the other’s arms, shoulders, and chest.”
—Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
