The International House Berkeley (I-House) is a multi-cultural residence serving students at the University of California, Berkeley. The International House has several rooms and lounges that overlook both the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Established in 1930, The House was created as a gift from John D. Rockefeller Jr. to foster relationships between students from different countries. It has housed many famous artists, scientists, and scholars connected with the university; including multiple Nobel laureates, royal family members, political ambassadors and several United Nations staff.

The International House Berkeley has served as one of the largest and most diverse global residential communities in the world.[1] In total, 600 international and American students from 70 nations live in the house during the academic year.[2] According to The International House, its mission is to "foster intercultural respect and understanding, lifelong friendships and leadership skills for the promotion of a more tolerant and peaceful world."[3] Nearly one thousand alumni have married another resident.[4]
