Buddy Week
Our student mentors are ready to welcome you this autumn. They've planned a week full of fun activities, so you'll get to know other students, VID and Stavanger!
During the buddy week (fadderuka in Norwegian), you'll get the chance to meet other new student. It's a perfect opportunity to expand your circle of friends, experience new activities and become part of the student environment.
The mentors, who are experienced students, have events throughout the week, giving you the opportunity to let loose and create memories for life. At the same time, it's a safe way to explore campus and learn more about student life. Our mentors know what it's like to be a student at VID, so they've got tips and tricks for how to handle student life.
Buddy Week starts on Monday 11 August at 12:00 at VID Stavanger.
