2. The Student Union will do its best but cannot guarantee that all requirements are met. We do not know, for example, how many students from a specific country will arrive in Jönköping and also sign up.
3. The Student Union will email your contact information to your international students before the semester starts, about one week before he/she arrives in Jönköping. Depending on whether it is fall or spring semester, this occurs in early August or January. Contact your student as soon as possible, in case he/she has any questions before her arrival.
4. The Student Union will invite you and all other Buddies to a mingle where you can meet your international student. After that, it is up to you to hang out as much as you can and want.
