§ 09 / Buddy Pairing request

Someone who knows your name on day one

We pair you with a student who already got through their own first Athens week — the person who tells you which bus, which paperwork, which night is worth going out for.

How the pairing works

  1. Tell us your faculty, arrival date and the languages you're comfortable in.
  2. We introduce the two of you on WhatsApp, before you get on the plane.
  3. You meet in person during your first week in Athens — usually at the office, usually before an event.
To be confirmed

Exactly what a buddy takes on is agreed per pairing by the office and is not published here yet.
