Spaces are designed to help you explore your options, connect with other students, and feel more confident about your next steps!
As a student using the Unibuddy app, you may come across two types of Spaces:
Unibuddy Spaces â open to all students using the app
Community Spaces â created by universities youâve joined
Spaces are labelled with either the University community name or âUnibuddy Spaceâ, so you can distinguish what Space belongs to what Community.
So, whatâs the difference between the two?
Unibuddy Spaces
Open to all students using the Unibuddy app
Not linked to a specific university - you donât need to join a university to access them
Great for exploring your options, connecting with other students, and asking questions, no matter where you are in your journey.
đ Unibuddy Spaces help you early in your journey
Community Spaces (within a university Community)
Created and managed by a university
Only available once you join that universityâs Community
Focused on that university (accommodation, courses, life there)
Often include input from student ambassadors
đ Community Spaces help you once youâre considering or joining a university
How to access Spaces
Getting started is easy: just sign up or log in to your Unibuddy account.
If you already have an account, simply log in using your existing details.
As a student, you can find Spaces in the Unibuddy app
You can also access Spaces via the web version: https://community.unibuddy.co/u/login/auth/login
Tap into the Spaces section to explore and join conversations
If you join a university Community, youâll also see their Community Spaces
đĄ Tip: Make sure you're using the latest version of the app to access the latest features and improvements.
đ Why do Spaces sometimes change?
You might notice that what you see in Spaces changes over time.
For example, when you first start using the app, you may see more Unibuddy Spaces.
If you later join a university Community, your experience may change to include more Spaces from that university.
This reflects where you are in your journey, from exploring your options to connecting with a specific university.
