Pre-Arrival Mentoring: Online Sessions for New International Students
Are you starting your studies at Freie Universität Berlin in the Winter Semester 26/27 and have questions about living and studying in Berlin? At our Pre-Arrival Mentoring Sessions, you will receive first-hand insights and practical tips from current international students at Freie Universität Berlin.
What to expect:
In these interactive sessions, our peer mentors – students just like you – along with an expert from the Center for Academic Advising and Psychological Counseling at FU Berlin, will share their experiences and answer your questions about:
• First steps after arrival
• Finding accommodation
• Starting your studies and university life
• Building a social network and settling in Berlin
