Be a Buddy!

What’s the Buddy Program?  

The Buddy Program pairs international students with Korean students on a one-to-one basis based on your interests, personality types, etc. 

Through this exchange, we hope to allow international students the opportunity not only to receive guidance and support in adjusting to Korean community but also to build up a relationship with Korean friends. It will also provide a mutually beneficial experience for Korean students in acquainted with different cultures and enhancing their communication skills.
