European University Viadrina

The team at the European University Viadrina attaches great importance to its international profile. There are lots of institutions which help international students to cope with their new situation and deal with governmental as well as university regulations. Tutors as well as staff at the International Office introduce new students to their new environment. There is also a student society called Interstudis (interstudi.esngermany.org; interstudis@europa-uni.de). Here, international students can participate in weekly meetings at a student pub, where they exchange views and experiences, arrange trips to other cities in Germany and make contact with other students. Finally, the "Fremde werden Freunde" ("Foreigners become Friends") initiative pairs inhabitants of Frankfurt (Oder) with individual international students. Through regular meetings, trips and other events, intercultural exchanges are nurtured. http://www.europa-uni.de/en/internationales/
