International House, The University of Sydney

[1] The more numerous groups by nationality were Australia, India, China, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and South Korea, and the countries of south-east Asia.

[2] Due to poor commercial viability as a result of the residence being too small for what is required to keep residence fees at a competitive level and the rising costs of maintaining a building with serious issues,[3] the college suspended all operations in January 2021 until a building redevelopment can be completed[4] however this has since stalled due to the University having multiple competing requirements for major investment and hence the redevelopment project is pending decisions on financing.

[2] In 1954 the Secretary of the Overseas Student Bureau, Margaret Briggs, prepared a report on the need for an International House.

It was hoped that an International House would assist both Australian and overseas students with quality accommodation and an academic environment for cultural exchange.

From as early as 1956 Rotary had expressed a commitment to assisting in the establishment of a residential hall for foreign students.

International House Members' Association (IHMA) is a volunteer committee of current residents who manage social events and activities including I-Night and Food Fair.

The Chair, Treasurer and Secretary of IHMA sit on International House Council meetings and are elected each year by current residents.
