Hi there,
Going abroad, living in a new city, attending a new university and having - maybe - to deal with a new language can seem a bit daunting and overwhelming. We understand this and that's why we set up a buddy system.
All of our Buddies are local volunteers and many of them have been abroad as exchange students themselves. However, as they are volunteers, we cannot guarantee that we will find a suitable Buddy for every exchange student, but we will try our best! The Buddy will be there to answer your questions, help you finding your way around Basel as well as our university and give you "insider tips" on life in Basel.
Once you have filled out this form, you will be put onto our list and we will then match you with a suitable Buddy. The "big" matching will take place as early as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, please leave them in the comments section and we will get in touch with you.
We wish you a good start in Basel and can't wait to meet you!
