Buddy System
Connecting International & Local Students
BGU International Buddy System
The goal of the buddy system is to provide a support network for new international students, to facilitate your integration into Israeli society and life at BGU.
Our buddies are experienced BGU students who would like to help you get to know the university and life in Israel.
Your buddy can help you answer any questions before your arrival in Beer-Sheva. They can give you advice on everyday issues such as shopping facilities or mobile phones and provide you with tips on how to spend your spare time. Over the course of the semester, you can turn to your buddy whenever you have a question.
An amazing wayto learn the best places to study on campus
There is no better way to learn your way around than through a local. Whether that means the best places to study on campus, or the best shop to buy a falafel, your Buddy will help you find what you're looking for!
I loved getting to see Beer-Sheva through the eyes of a local!
