About us
The aim of the Buddy Program is to build a community of students who are eager to be mentors and lend a helping hand to new students embarking on their university journey, all with the goal of making their transition to university life smoother and easier.
Through this program, students will have the opportunity to meet and connect with fellow students from different parts of the world while providing support for all those typical doubts and questions that arise when we're new to a place.
Basically, first-year students are matched with senior students who can offer personalized assistance and support. Usually, the buddies share the same age, program of study, nationality and hobbies, which makes this experience even better to connect with each other as they have a lot of things in common.
In the meantime, senior buddies take on the responsibility of organizing fun activities, introducing them to other students, giving them advice, and helping them with all the questions they may have.
Trust us; these friendships are the kind that makes college memories truly unforgettable.
So, what do you say? Want to join us and become a buddy?
