University of Miskolc’s Student Body Council’ Foreign Affairs Committee Vise-president
My name is Nada Youssef, and I am the Mentor Coordinator at the University of Miskolc. I am studying Judicial Administration. Being the Mentor Coordinator is not just a job I have to do, but also the building of new friendships and the practice of languages. Organizing events and being able to connect with many nationalities is a privilege of itself, that anyone in Hungary may be open to in my opinion.
It’s the concept of students helping students with integration into the university. The University of Miskolc and HÖOK Stipendium Hungaricum Mentor Network as well as the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Student Body Council of the University of Miskolc help with the process. We wait for new full-degree students, whether they come with a scholarship or are self-paying. So that we can provide 100% efficiency and comfort. International students get 2 mentors, one international and one Hungarian mentor. The purpose is that Hungarian students help with translations with administrative work and doctor’s appointments, while international students help with being homesick and fitting into a new environment. Mentors are also students with their own schedules and classes so we ask all current and perspective mentees for their patience when communicating with their mentors. We organize many events and programs to help with integration so that international students’ stay can be filled with fun rather than only academics.
Join us, a group of exciting and friendly students who are here to help you either as a newcomer or join the community in your upper years as a mentor!
