In 2021, the French student receiving the award of "Best Buddy" is... Jeanne DUFRENNE
Enrolled in IENAC19_OPS (Air Transport Operations and Safety major)
She is the French buddy of Ginevra BERNI, coming from POLITO (Italy).
Ginevra's comments about Jeanne:
"She is a very active person, she is super friendly and always available in case I need it. She is open to new friendship and new cultures. She is helping me improve my French.
Having her around has been really helpful, especially the first week I spent here. She came to get me at the airport, she's shown me around the campus the first day, and introduced to the right people to start some activities here, which was really helpful.
Afterward, she's been a really good friend and we already plan to keep in touch and visit each other after the Erasmus. I really believe that she deserves to win this award, because from other experiences in the past I know that it's not easy to be so open and friendly with a stranger, and she has exceeded all my expectations."
In 2019, it iwas the 1st time that a French student had been given the award of "Best Buddy".
The winner was...Bertille LEMIERE
She was enrolled in MCTA18C class (Air Traffic Controller programme)
She is the French buddy of Rashmi KOUSHIK, coming from HITS (India).
Here is below what Rashmi feels about Bertille:
"We meet once a week and it's initiated by both of us. Even when we don't meet, we chat via text and try to make plans and keep each other updated about our lives and such"".
"Bertille was kind enough to come and pick me up at the airport when I arrived and also cook dinner when I didn't have anything in the kitchen. We went to Christmas market, watched a movie together. We also invited me to dinner with friends and their buddies. We went to Bachata class as well, that was our 1st meeting together.
Bertille is the best! She is kind, thoughtful, hard working and sincere. She is fun and easy to talk to. She is supportive and understanding. I could go on and on."
She took care of me when she thought I needed help. She is always there for me. She is always available to talk to. And that is rare. And I know already I have a friend for life!"
Her last comment is: thank you for choosing me to be her buddy. I am a lucky girl!"
