Build friendships that feel like home.

Moving to a new country can be exciting—and lonely. Journey is a place to find people who understand what it’s like to start over somewhere new. Build lasting friendships, find mentors, and connect with people who can help you feel at home at UIUC.

There is freedom here to ask big questions, seek answers, and learn together.

College is the perfect time to think about your life. You finally have the freedom to search for purpose and more meaning in life. Maybe you are curious about Christianity. We encourage you to join us and meet others who are asking the same things on their spiritual journey.

You shouldn’t have to figure everything out alone.

From choosing classes and preparing for a career to finding an apartment, getting around town, or figuring out everyday life in the U.S., we’re here to help.
Connect with students and mentors who’ve been there before — and can point you in the right direction.

Make the most of your college years.

College is more than classes and deadlines. We take trips, explore new places, try new foods, play games, celebrate holidays, and make time to enjoy life together. These are the moments you’ll look back on for years to come.
