Since *my* Korean buddy didn't have quite as much to do with the other "internationals", I was a little more in demand as a buddy than in my first semester as a buddy. I helped with bank transactions, with setting up the cards, German homework, communication with the professors and much more. Since I still had a great interest in Korean culture, we organized several Korean dinners at my home (with all Koreans of the University of Bremen). Besides that we did many excursions (Freimarkt, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rome) as a couple or with the other Koreans. Thus in the course of the time a friendship - which still lasts."</em></em></p> Content content-637514 Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:22:16 +0100 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/studies/starting-your-studies/international-students/offers-for-international-students/kompass/study-buddy#c637514 <p><em>"It was just wonderful to meet so many people from other countries and to dance and laugh together with them. I tasted a lot of food from other countries and we took a lot of pictures of all of us. We ate Indian food together or visited a temple in Bremen. (...) All in all, I find the Study Buddy program a huge enrichment in terms of cultural competencies, because you have the opportunity to learn a lot about other cultures. It just brings you an openness towards other ways of life and you develop a different understanding for many situations. I would do it again anytime."</em></p> Content content-637513 Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:22:16 +0100 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/studies/starting-your-studies/international-students/offers-for-international-students/kompass/study-buddy#c637513 <p><em>"Overall, I am very happy to have participated in the program. Even though it got off to a bumpy start, I would recommend it to anyone. It's a nice change in everyday study life and definitely doesn't feel like an obligation. Anyone who has studied abroad knows how hard it can be to find your way around in the beginning and how important study buddies can be. My Study Buddy Emma also told me that she needed support, especially in the beginning. What I found especially nice is the gift she brought me from Taiwan, a red folder in a traditional pattern."</em></p> Content
