Student Buddy

For a warm welcome.

We provide the best introduction to your new student life abroad.

Get Started Today

We once moved to a new university far, far away.

Ever since, we’ve been working to make the student introduction time better for everyone.

Here’s a little bit about ourselves.

So you’re moving to a new country to study abroad? Congratulations! You’ve just made an important and life-changing step. But moving abroad can be a daunting task: you need to make new friends, find a place to live and of course find out where the best bars, clubs, and cinema’s are. But no worries, we are here to help you!

At Student Buddy, we are specialised in providing the best introduction to your new student life. Your will pair up with local students, called ‘buddies’, who will guide you through the city. How? With fun activities all across town, a handbook to help you get settled, an entertainment tour, and lots more.

Our buddy system will make sure that you don’t feel left out when you arrive in a new country, full of questions and feeling lost in translation. After all, we’ve been there before and know what we need to do to make you feel welcome!

“It's always scary to move to another city, let alone a new country. I had to learn a new language, make new friends, find out where the best bars were. Luckily, Student Buddy made this all possible! Thanks for making me feel welcome right away.”
