MENTOR BUDDY \u2013 Help you, we will.<\/h3>\n

Dear “newcomers” of ETH\/UZH Zurich for Fall Semester 2019,<\/p>\n

We are aware that newcomers who come from different parts of India to attend ETH\/UZH programs face many obstacles in settling in Zurich. Problems start right after landing at the airport. How to travel to the residence in Zurich, where to buy groceries (Indian \/ Swiss), how to proceed with registration for residence permit and other paperwork, etc. are the some of the most common questions you have. Through the mentorship program, the existing students can help you settling in Zurich with least possible glitch in your life.<\/p>\n

We, the organizers, will try to assign an existing student living in Zurich (mentor) to one or more new-comers (mentees). We will try to assign the mentor from the same academic program as the mentee so that information related to coursework and projects can also be given. The mentor or some available person may volunteer to pick the mentees from the airport and drop them at their respective residence.<\/p>\n

Please go through the form below and register as “mentees” if you feel that this program will be useful for you.

Feel free to reach out to us in case of any clarifications or inconveniences at insaz.mentorship(AT)gmail.com. We will try our best to help you out.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nInSAZ Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
