HIU Buddy Program

Buddy for international students

HIU Buddy Club is the club of volunteers who dedicate their time and commitment to support international students with on and off-campus services. As local students, HIU buddies have strong knowledge and understanding about Vietnamese culture and would be a great hand to help you make the most of your time in Vietnam. Therefore, buddies can be the first contact point prior to departure from your home country and will stay in contact with you for the whole semester.

HIU Buddy Club plays a fundamental role in organizing activities for International Students together with HIU Student Center staffs throughout your semester in Vietnam. The activities include airport pickup services, international orientation, city tour, cooking class, welcome dinner, Vietnamese language classes, Vietnamese culture sharing, community engagement trip and city wandering trips.

Prior to your arrival, HIU will introduce your buddy to you via email with full details of contact information. Your buddy will contact and support with information that you would need before arriving in Vietnam.
