International House is a residential college owned and operated by the University of Sydney. Opened in 1967, the college comprised 200 undergraduate and postgraduate students from Australia and many other countries around the world. The more numerous groups by nationality were Australia, India, China, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and South Korea, and the countries of south-east Asia.

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, the college suspended all operations in January 2021 until a building redevelopment can be completed 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.
