In many cases, foreign students come from distant countries, and often this is the first time for them to be away from home. It is a difficult experience to be away from home for the first time. Students need to take care of themselves on their own, solve problems alone, and their parents and friends are no longer there to help them out. This new situation could be very challenging.
By joining the mentorship programme, students do not need to face these challenges alone. The most important aim of our international mentorship program is to help international students with socialization and integration into everyday life in Hungary and at the university. For example, mentors contact the mentees before arrival and start to organize the most important things they need to sort out when they arrive. The mentor may also meet the mentee upon arrival at the airport and can help them in finding their way around the university, including the accommodation and administration offices. Mentors accompany mentees, if needed, throughout the whole semester, they offer social and professional programmes, and give support e.g., in the exam period or when an emergency appears.
