As a student, you may be wondering how you could have a conversation with a student or faculty member from a University you're thinking of attending.

Have no fear. Follow the step-by-step guide below to chat with students or staff at the University of your choosing:

1. Navigate to your University's Unibuddy widget. Their widget may be located in a Chat with our Students section of the University's website and will display all of the students and staff available to chat with you.

Or simply Google "{University Name} Unibuddy" or "{University Name} chat with students" and that should do the trick!

See an example below of how the chat platform will appear when you have navigated to the correct page:

4. You will then be navigated to the initial Sign Up form. Please fill out all required fields (indicated by the rest asterisk), then click Start To Chat. See the example below:
