Volgograd State University is proud to welcome at its campus international exchange students each academic year. In order to give YOU a warm welcome into Russian culture
and society, International Office and Volunteer Centre "Proryv" have set up a Buddy program.
The program aims to help YOU to establish a social and academic network starting from day one. We contribute in making the start of the semester a joyful and exciting experience in our city.
By applying to the Buddy Program the exchange student will get a chance to find a friend that can help him around the city and to take care of all the matters such as:
- Pick you up at the airport
- Giving you a tour around Volgograd
- Introduce you to other international students and the nice places to hang out
- Inform you about students activities that will happen during the next semester
- Moreover as your buddy will be a native you will get the chance to find out about all the particularities of the Russian lifestyle.
If you're an exchange student looking for a buddy, just send us email to oms@volsu.ru (put Buddy Program in the subject line)!
The sooner you apply the sooner you will get a chance to chat with your buddy through the web!
