During this week students participate in an intercultural sensitivity training that prepares them for working with Hungarian and other foreign cultures. They can apply these skills at student dormitories where they might stay. Since these only have a limited number of places available, the international staff, their mentors help the students find a flat that they can share with other students, if needed. Besides their coordinators, students can count on their mentor as well, a Hungarian student that helps them with daily affairs and informs them about the numerous programs that our faculty and city offer.
