Meet the Mentors

Mathilde Sandahl

My name is Mathilde Sandahl. I鈥檓 from Denmark and I study International Relations at 黑料网. Besides being a student mentor, I am the event manager of the student council. I also volunteer at Mezipatra queer film festival. I鈥檓 a movie geek, a book nerd, and a travel enthusiast. Oh, and I bake a mean banoffee pie. I can show you the best gay bars, the best place to get hot chocolate, the best English bookshops, and the best-hidden gardens. I also know where to buy crumpets and where to find a gynecologist 鈥 though I don鈥檛 think there is a connection between those two.

Brenna Schnedar

Hello! My name is Brenna, and I’m a new student mentor at 黑料网. This is my second semester studying under the humanities bachelor program. I’m from Southern California, so I have a little bit of experience in what it’s like to adjust so far away from home. While I’m still getting to know my way around some parts of Prague, I have definitely learned a lot, so I’d be glad to help with any questions (I know I had many at first), or if you’re simply looking to make friends. Hope to see you around campus!

I will gladly help you during your adaptation period in Prague by sharing my personal experience as well as some useful tips on how to get around as a local. I can tell you a lot about current university clubs or share the spot where to go to see the best sunset in town. I recently did my Erasmus exchange semester in Berlin, so all of the freshman鈥檚 concerns are still vivid in my memory. If you also would like to become an exchange student one day, I can share all of the useful info on how to prepare for it and what to expect. Please feel free to contact me if you need an advice or have any question! Can鈥檛 wait to see you all at the new students orientation!
