BUDDY SYSTEM
Want to come to ITMO for an exchange, but are afraid to take a leap into the big unknown? Don’t worry – ITMO’s international students are assisted each step of the way, from arriving to St. Petersburg to navigating studies and fun, through a variety of student support programs operating at the university.
As part of Buddy System program, you’ll be assigned a Russian buddy (one of our friendly Russian students) who’ll help you with all matters concerning adapting to a life in a new city and just be there for you when you need it (cue the main theme from Friends).
