Buddy Program

Why Buddy? 
While new situations can be difficult for new Polish students, it is sometimes a real challenge for international students. Why not help each other out and learn from each other?

What is the Buddy Program all about?
The Buddy Program meets new international students with studnets of ULS, whom become a "buddy" for one or more international students. The goal of the Buddy Program is to give international students a good start to their studies and to contribute to cultural and linguistic exchange at the university.

The Buddy's role is :

• to help the newcomer with various administrative matters at the home faculty and to provide information on multiple issues related to their arrival and stay at the University
• to introduces the newcomer to student life, drawing from his/her own experiences as a student. 
• can also help to integrate the incoming students with the University community and show the beauty of Wrocław and the region.
