Buddy Program
ESN Amsterdam organizes a buddy program every semester for all new incoming international/exchange students. Imagine coming to a new city and not any knowing familiar faces, the language, culture etc can be a daunting experience. To make this experience easy going, fun and exciting, we have the Buddy program, where we pair up students who have lived in Amsterdam for a while with international students. They can share their experiences and knowledge in order to help you with an easy transition, be it student friendly grocery shops, eateries or housing related guidance. Participating in our program is a wonderful way to connect with students, meet new people, gain insights about the city or different cultures.

Social Erasmus and Erasmus in Schools
ESN Amsterdam is set on giving international students the chance to get to know their new environment better through the project Social Erasmus. By participating in volunteering activities or through collaborating with Nonprofit Organisations, students are able to gain new perspectives of their locality whilst also at the same time give back to the community and enrich the latter.
