Goin’ connects you with your future friends
We totally understand how important social connections are during your studies and how having friends around can make a real difference. That’s why it’s great to meet others even before you start your exchange at AUAS—whether to connect with people who are going through the same experience, get advice, or help each other out. It adds to the excitement and eases any pre-exchange nerves. And of course, making new friends during your exchange is just as important. That’s where Goin’ Connect comes in!
