The buddies receive your contact information a few weeks before your arrival and will contact you to provide any information you might need, meet you at the airport (in case you both decide on that), bring you to UFPE and help you with your enrollment, student card, transportation card and Federal Police registration.

The buddy helps the international student to establish a social network inside the university and will also provide them with the opportunity of practice speaking Portuguese. They usually speak the mother language of the international student or, at least, English.

Considered the most culturally diverse carnival in the country, the carnival of Pernambuco has as main characteristic its democracy: everyone can participate in the parties, which take place on the street, without the need to pay any participation fee.

Although the feast is traditionally celebrated in February or March, from Zé Pereira's Saturday until Ash Wednesday, the “prévias” - early celebrations - begin in January.

Almost 4 million people go to the streets of Olinda and dance to the sound of traditional rhythms - frevo, caboclinho, maracatu - during the carnival holiday. On the Saturday, Recife hosts the Galo da Madrugada, considered by the Guinness Book the largest street parede in the world since 1995, annually gathering 2.5 million people. Shows by local and national artists are held free of charge in the city's various Cultural Poles.
