This paper discusses the notion that the international sojourn has the potential to transform sojourners into cultural mediators who carry the power to improve global relations. A year‐long ethnographic study of the adjustment experiences of international postgraduate students in England revealed a universal early enthusiasm for cross‐cultural contact that was matched by a widespread adoption of segregated patterns of interacting. The most common friendship networks were described as bonds with co‐nationals, and yet all students attested to an increase in their cultural learning and mindfulness by the end of the sojourn. Nevertheless, intercultural competence was maximised only in those few students who pursued a multicultural strategy of interaction, leading the researcher to call on higher education institutions to instigate policies to encourage lasting cross‐cultural contact
