Apply to become a buddy 2020/2021 S2
-- IF YOU ARE A NEW STUDENT THEN THIS IS THE WRONG FORM. Instead go to the following link: https://forms.gle/i1xwqgRHKZ3d8ERQA  --

Apply via this form if you want to be matched to a new international student OR to another buddy.

Becoming a buddy will be a great opportunity for you to help internationals in Groningen! As a buddy you will guide one or more international students in your city, and answer their burning questions. The Buddy & Integration Committee will link you to an international student that could really use your help. We will exchange the necessary contact information between you and the student(s) which enables you to contact the international student before he/she arrives. International students are usually interested in finding out stuff on practical matters regarding the best way to travel from Schiphol to Groningen or the easiest way to go to their room or student house in the city. If appreciated by the international students, you can offer to pick them up from the train station upon their arrival in Groningen. In addition, you can show the student(s) around the city and help with buying a proper bicycle, opening a bank account, giving a tour around the faculty, going to ESN events, etc. Besides these practical matters most international students are also very interested in getting to know the student life of Groningen. As a buddy you are of course the perfect person to guide them around!

If you have any questions about the buddy program, do not hesitate to send an email to bic@esn-groningen.nl or to integration@esn-groningen.nl.

How did you hear about the ESN Buddy Programme? *
Since there are not many international students coming to Groningen due to Corona, we want to give our buddies the opportunity to keep on connecting to others. Therefore, would you like to be matched to someone that already lives in Groningen, in case there is no incoming student for you to be matched with? *
Can we use your email address for promotion of future BIC events and other ESN Programmes? (no spam) *
Do you have any further questions/remarks?
Please keep in mind
It might take some time before you get matched to an international student. Especially in the first couple of weeks it might take some time.. Thank you for helping us out and if you have any questions, you can send an email to bic@esn-groningen.nl.
