Buddy Systems (BS) is an initiative of Vicerectorate for International Relations which recruited and coordinates an enthusiastic TUIASI students team with the main aim of taking care of international students living and studying at TUIASI. Along with International Office representatives, TUIASI Buddies can organize various events, excursions and help their international colleagues to enjoy their experience in Iasi.
Each TUIASI Buddy has the first contact by email with international student before his/her arrival at TUIASI, helping him/her to organize the trip to Iasi. Buddies are happy to answers any students’ questions about various information like: how they can get to student or academic campus, how to open a bank account, how to use the public transportation in Iasi, about academic schedule or recreational activities.
The main aim of Buddy System is to bring international students closer to their TUIASI colleagues and help them with everything they need to overcome initial difficulties in a foreign country.
