The Buddies
The Buddy Program launched by the DHBW Heilbronn has only one goal: helping the international students to feel at home.
Our students will welcome you warmly during the many fun activities we plan. In case you have any question, they will be happy to help. From the cultural integration to the campus life, we can assure you that they will be your friends.
Example of activity
The past years we did several activities. To give you a quick overview, here are some examples:

Going to a different country/ city you have never been to can be overwhelming. You will face a lot of new people and a different environment. But the Buddy Program will help you feel comfortable really quick. It will make it easy for you to get to know all the good places and meet great people. Last year I was one of the Buddies and I can tell you it’s fun to experience all these different events. And we are all excited to meet you! With the planned trips and events from the DHBW it’s easy to get to know everyone and see some nice spots around Heilbronn. For example, we drove around with the Hop on Hop off Bus, went bowling, climbing and much more. At the international dinner everyone was able to cook a meal from their home country. It was fun to see people struggling at making the food (especially me) and afterwards try the food from all the different cultures. We also hung out besides the planned excursions. So as a buddy we will give you some recommendations for nice events to go to or we are planning some extra meet ups. But you can also just come up to us and ask if we want to hang out. I was always excited to join. Also, if you have any questions or problems, you can always text a buddy on Whatsapp. Being a buddy helped me make new friends around the world. And hopefully it will help you enjoy your semester abroad. So, no matter what, you will have a great time in Germany! And maybe I will see you around.
