The Stanford India Association is a community of Indian graduate students at Stanford. We are launching a pilot programme for incoming graduate students where each student will be assigned a 'Buddy' who will guide him/her through the first few months of stay at Stanford.

Perks:
Exposure to Indian student culture
Opportunity to interact with an enthusiastic fresh grad student
Opportunity to fill the thirst to guide someone who's in a situation not very different from what you were a few years back

Give it a try. You'll like it :)
