All exchange students are automatically assigned a Buddy for pick-up when they submit their Arrival form. The Buddy picks the student up at the Train Station in Lillehammer, and brings him/her to their dorm. The student is shown around the dorm, brought to the closest grocery store and provided with the most important information for their first days in Lillehammer.

Afterwards, an Orientation Week is arranged (in August and in January) with events for exchange students (and Norwegian students). It is the perfect opportunity for them to get to know INN University, the city of Lillehammer, other exchange students and Norwegian students.
