European Student Network (Support for International Students by Students)
European Student Network (also known as Gemini)
The students' initiative ESN offers different activities for exchange students at Pforzheim University. They also offer support to International students.
One of these activities is the buddy program which matches German and international students. German students help exchange students with their first steps in Germany and Pforzheim (information about city, pick-up from the station, buying a SIM card and so on) and support them in case of problems and questions throughout the semester. Personal contact and shared free-time activities are a welcome side effect.
