| Several GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs offer a unique Buddy Program to help with cultural and community integration in your host country. The Buddy Program pairs GlobaLinks students with local "buddies" to ensure a smooth transition for studying and living in Asia.
Students meet their buddies after arrival and they can assist with settling into residences, finding nearby stores and restaurants, purchasing cell phones, giving insight into the culture, being an all-around resource, and more importantly becoming a local friend! Student Comments About Buddy Program: "The KU Buddies were really helpful and I had a lot of fun hanging out with mine." -H. Porter, UC-Irvine "BE A PART OF KUBA! They are your gateway to getting situated with the KU community as well as Korea! They are very, very open to international students and want to make sure you have fun and enjoy Korea in the most comfortable/cultural way possible!" -A. Hong, Point Loma Nazarene University "I love my buddy! We eat lunch together every Monday! This semester our buddies even take us to places, like palaces and such, and last week we went to to Insa-dong and that was really great! The buddies have been nothing but great!" - G. Vang, Univ. of Minnesota - Duluth
