Fleming College – Global Friends Café

Matching Process:

Students in Canada and abroad are given a questionnaire to determine their student profile. A computer program then matches students with similar interests.

Some samples of questions are below:

• Do you have an interest in knowing more about other cultures? Which ones?
• What do you do in your free time?
• Do you consider yourself an introvert, extrovert or a balance between both?
• What kind of a roommate are you? Organized? Messy? A balance of both.
• Who is your favorite hero? Wonder Woman? Batman? Superman?

Through this program, students in Canada can receive Co-Curricular Record (CCR) hours, learn about different cultures, as well as receive community hours that are eligible for police foundation, social service workers, child youth workers, etc. For incoming international students, it is an opportunity to learn more about Canada and campus environment, reduce the anxiety and stress of figuring things out once they arrive and learn to navigate post-secondary education in Canada.
