Buddy System

WHAT IS THE BUDDY SYSTEM?

The first few weeks are known to be the hardest for any international student, when facing a different country, language, new habits. That's where the Buddy System jumps in.

Buddies are local ESN volunteers who welcome and help exchange students:

  • to get settled in Torino
  • answering questions before their arrival
  • to find the way around the city
  • hanging out and getting an inside look at the student life in Torino
  • to make friends in the local students community
  • expand your Erasmus+ experience in Torino
