We will do our best to provide you with a buddy as soon as possible and thank you for your understanding should this take a little longer.
Have a nice rest of the week and to all international freshers: Enjoy the Welcome Week<http://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Studium/Vor-dem-Studium/Internationale-S…> ☺,
