SSU Int'l Student Buddy Form - U.S. Buddy

The Sonoma State International Student Buddy program helps international students attending Sonoma State with their transition to a new country and culture.

While studying in a new country can be exciting, it can also be challenging. New international students may have many questions about Sonoma State and life in California.

The Sonoma State International Student Buddy program pairs a current SSU student (U.S. buddy) with a new international student (international buddies). U.S. buddies help their international buddies through the transition into the new culture. In exchange, U.S. buddies gain not only friendships but also insights into other cultures.

We encourage our buddies to try to attend at least some campus events together. Our International Education Exchange Council (IEEC) hosts events almost every week!
