ESN VSE Prague

Buddy Program

The Czech 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! After applying to Buddy Program via BuddyIS, about month before the semester starts, ESN organization will pair you with your Buddy.

Ice Breaking Weekend

We take 110 of the newly arriving international students and go to a small town called Svor. But don’t worry, even though it’s the end of the world, it will be anything but boring! We have an accommodation complex just for ourselves (bar included!) and we will make the most of it! Team building games, themed parties and much more! Hurry up registering before it’s too late!!

N2N Party

The name „Nation 2 Nation Party“ expresses the main idea of these parties – Bringing the students together. It is not a classical disco or party. The difference are the presentations of exchange students in form of tastings typical dishes or drinks. Different country is present each week so most nations whose students came to study for a semester to Prague took their turn.
