Airport Pickup and Temporary Homestay

June 30, 2016

The airport pickup and homestay program is designed for new students and visiting scholars who are looking for transportation to their housing or help as they wait for their dorm or apartment to become available. The program is ran by Global Connections (a branch of ifi), a Christian organization that welcomes international students, and is only available for pickups done in Gainesville, FL and not other cities within Florida.


These services are free, provided by the Christians who support and volunteer with Global Connections.

Please complete the form below at least 2 weeks prior to your arrival date. It is very difficult to accommodate requests without at least 14 days advance notice.
