We want to welcome you to Minnesota and help you get your school year started!

​If you're looking to buy a new or used car (especially a Toyota!), consider buying through Nick Li! Nick formerly worked at the Hospitality Center as a Program Director and was himself an international student who graduated in the class of 2016 from the University of Minnesota. As a Sales Professional at Rudy Luther Toyota in Golden Valley, his job is to be YOUR representative and guide to help you purchase your dream car! If you are looking for a new OR used car, take 30 seconds, click the button and complete the form below to schedule a call with Nick and begin your car buying journey! The Hospitality Center receives a $100 donation with every car purchased through Nick.
Are you new to Minnesota? Are you researching how to get around the Twin Cities when you arrive? Our friendly volunteers will connect with you while you’re still in your home country, and pick you up from the MSP airport when you arrive. We'll drive you to your temporary residence until dorms and apartments open up. To sign up, please fill out the form below. 
Are you looking for temporary housing after your arrival before moving into your dorm/apartment? The Hospitality Center screens and trains every volunteer and family that we work with. They are ready to welcome you into their homes and help you get settled in after arriving in MN. You may choose to stay with your host family anywhere between 1-5 days. Please apply early below. 
OUR WAREHOUSE IS NOT CURRENTLY OPERATING
If you have arrived recently to Minnesota and need furniture or household goods then please come to one of our Giveaway Days! You can receive free furniture and household goods for your residence. Starting in October, we will also be giving away Winter clothing! We want you to feel comfortable and have what you need to live happily during your time here in the Twin Cities. 
If you are an international student who wants to get the most out of your experience here in America, please consider a homestay through USA Homestays. We want to place you in a good home for a year at a time so you can fully experience the best of American culture. There are many benefits of a homestay with us: a private bedroom in a good home, all utilities paid, meals, constant opportunities to interact with English speakers. Our homestay is more than just a home away from home.
