International Students: Buddy Program
Students arriving in Montreal for the first time who may not be familiar with the North American lifestyle in general, and Montreal in particular, may wish to take advantage of this program. A 'Buddy' is a primary contact person who provides information and guidance to someone who is unfamiliar with their new surroundings. New international students are matched with a student volunteer.
