FUB accommodates exchange students in the facilities for University students, managed by the Autonomous Province of South Tyrol; each year FUB reserves a number of rooms only for exchange students. The Language Centre provides language courses for students enrolled at the University, and for those on international exchange programmes, and it runs an advisory service for autonomous language learning, which takes place in its fully-equipped, flexibly run language laboratory. There are two different student associations: "Kikero" organises social events, student parties, trips and other activities; S.C.U.B "Sports Club University Bolzano" organises sports activities, particularly alpine sports like free-climbing, trekking, skiing. In addition we are planning to organise a yearly meeting of all students of the European Masters programme in Language and Communication Technologies at one of the partner institutions, where students can report on their experience, where we learn about best practice examples, where selected students can present the results of their project or master thesis, selected scholars and staff members present their latest research result, students are introduced to the local culture and students tell us about their culture. This event shall also serve to support the launch and the continued support of an alumni organization.
