ESN VSE Prague offers you a great opportunity to be paired up with a VŠE student who will help you settle in a new environment. We call this a “Buddy Program”. The VŠE student will be your “Buddy” – a friend who will make your arrival and first days in Prague easy and smooth and who will be there to help you during the whole semester. At the same time, you will be his/her Buddy too!

There are two offices taking care of foreign students: the International Office (for Exchange students) and CESP Office (for students in CESP Program). We cooperate closely with both of them and they provide us with your name and email address.

About a month before the semester starts, ESN VSE Prague will send you an emal with the name and contact information of your Buddy, in case you applied for him/her. Your Buddy will contact you at about the same time. (Please make sure to check out your spam folder regularly!) Should you not hear from anyone less than a month before semester begins, contact us and we will work it out promptly!

At that time you should give your arrival information to your Buddy and exchange pictures so that you can recognize each other at the airport/bus/train station. Exchanging cell phone numbers helps as well; write down a cell phone number of your Coordinator from ESN VSE Prague too (the person whom you got emails about your Buddy from). You can also get to know each other by chatting about hobbies, interests, or you can ask any questions which come to your mind.

For more information, go to You and Your Buddy.

Note: Buddy Program is only for those international students who are coming to study at the Prague University of Economics and Business as Exchange, degree students (except from CEMS and EGEI programs) or CESP students. If you are an international student coming to study in a different programor you will study for a degree in Czech language, and would like to have a VŠE Buddy, please, send us an e-mail and we will try to arrange it for you.
