Through this initiative, each student will be paired with a personalized student mentor for their first year. The mentor will serve as a source of emotional support, encouragement, and guidance, helping students navigate the resources offered by the university, such as POPcorner and student well-being services, to address specific challenges. Additionally, the mentor will share study tips and personalized planning techniques to assist students in balancing their academic, social, and personal lives effectively.

Beyond creating a sense of belonging, At Home in Leiden seeks to ignite curiosity and interest in the city of Leiden and its surroundings. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in POPcorner workshops, expand their social network, and take part in group city tours, among other activities.
