ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Find Your Other Half
We've all heard about it. You're super excited to go on an exchange program or join an international university. Full of hopes and dreams, you think you'll be bilingual in French and have an army of local friends by month two. Six months in, you haven't spoken anything else than english.
​
Mais ça, c'était avant
We have two aims with the buddy program:
​
First, help international students integrate into the community and enjoy their French experience.
​
Second, encourage French students to take advantage of HEC's international community, and improve intercultural exchanges on campus.
