To help you transition to your life in Beijing and Renmin Business School, the Buddy Program connects new international students with local Chinese students. They provide the friendly face, helping hand, and first Beijing friendship that can make a world of difference for new arrivals. Buddies can also offer language support, cultural guidance and information about life at Renmin. Volunteers and new students are paired on a rolling basis during the year, allowing new students to be in touch with their buddies over the summer.
