Buddy programme

Your buddy will help you settle in and answer questions about living and studying in Fulda. For example, they will explain to you how university studies are organised in your department and give you tips on where to find support and advisory services. Important information is only part of the support. Your buddy will also be there to help you when it comes to German culture, leisure activities and making friends in Germany. Many Fulda buddies have studied abroad. They know how you feel in a foreign environment and what problems you will encounter. Some come from other countries themselves and know the situation you find yourself in.

You and your buddy decide for yourselves how much time you spend together. Perhaps you only meet in the cafeteria from time to time or you visit each other regularly and do things together in your free time. During the semester, the International Office invites you to various activities where you can get to know other international students and their buddies from Fulda.

Possible activities with your buddy:
1. Attend a lecture together
2. Attend a course organised by the city of Fulda/ a club or other organisation together
3.Do sport together (hiking, swimming, football, table tennis etc.)
4. Celebrate a German or international holiday together
5.Take a walk through Fulda and take a picture at the cathedral/city palace/castle park
6. Watch a film together
7. Go on an excursion with the semester ticket
8.Cook/bake something together
9. Go for a walk/meet up together and have a coffee/tea to go (or whatever else you like)
10. Have a games evening
