[International Exchange] "International Student Buddy Introduction" was held for the spring semester of 2024.

The "International Student Buddy System" aims to become a buddy (friend) for international students at Otemae University, engage in intercultural exchange, and help them when they are in trouble. This is a system that allows you to deepen your intercultural understanding while having fun interacting with international students.

This year, 60 students applied (30 students who wanted to make friends with international students, and 30 students who wanted to make Japanese friends), and the "International Student Buddy Introduction" was held during the lunch break on Tuesday, May 7th. The students looked nervous at first, but as soon as the self-introductions began, they quickly relaxed and the meeting was full of laughter as they played games such as "Let's find two things the two of you have in common" and "Look this way, please!", making for a fun and relaxed event.

Please use this opportunity to deepen your friendship. Source: International Exchange Center
