Buddy Programme at the University of Zielona Góra

Starting your Erasmus+ journey in a new country is exciting — but we know it can also feel overwhelming. You might be asking yourself:

• How do I get from the airport or train station to the dormitory?

• Where can I buy a local SIM card to call home?

• Where can I find affordable food nearby?

• How do I settle into student life in a new city?

Don’t worry — you’re not alone!

At the University of Zielona Góra, we want you to feel supported from the very beginning of your stay. That’s why every Erasmus+ student coming for studies is assigned an Erasmus Buddy.

What is the Buddy Programme?

Our Buddy Programme is run in collaboration with the ESN UZ – Erasmus Student Network Zielona Góra, a group of local and international student volunteers who are here to:

• Help you settle in when you arrive

• Guide you around campus and the city

• Support you with practical matters like SIM cards, transport, shopping, and more

• Introduce you to Polish culture and student life

• Organize fun events, trips, and activities throughout the semester

Whether it’s your first time abroad or you’re a seasoned traveller, your Buddy will make sure you start your Erasmus experience smoothly and feel welcome in Zielona Góra.
