I was a WU (Washburn University- pronounced "woo") buddy. WU buddies are assigned foreign exchange students to help them out when they have any problems meshing with the differences between their home society and the Midwest America society. Now I have a buddy here provided by Zuyd University- so I feel it is only proper to call her my ZU buddy. Then I like to think people are shocked that I might have a chimpanzee friend here in Holland.
Anyway, she and her roommate invited Gabby and I to dinner and it was fun. It was a good conversation as well. I feel like maybe Europeans like to have intellectual or political chats more often than their American counterparts.
Or maybe I just got lucky- either way, it's enjoyable.
Hope we could have those "Buddy" system. LOL Im sure it would be great for international students to have some local Students who can help them out. Ive never had any "buddies" so it took me forever to get use to American culture.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Kansas Wesleyan isn't very forward thinking in its policies.
