Get a Buddy

A Buddy is a current student at Jönköping University who can answer questions, show you around Jönköping and introduce you to the Swedish student life.

If you apply to get a Buddy you and your Buddy will receive an email before the semester starts with the contact information to your Buddy. This way you can get in touch with your Buddy and they can answer any specific questions you have even before your arrival to Jönköping University. Your Buddy will be there for you to guide you around and to answer your questions, and hopefully share one or two things about the Swedish life.

Please note that there are both Swedish and international Buddies.
