Geisenheim Student Committee's Mentoring Program
Starting your studies in a new place can be confusing to begin with, and in order to help our new students have as smooth a start as possible at Hochschule Geisenheim University, the Student Committee (AStA) offers a mentoring program. First-semester students can register for this and get help from current student mentors even before beginning their studies.
Experienced students can give you tips and insider-knowledge, about studying, the Mensa, the university sport program or just about life on campus.
