There are a couple of different ways that you can reach out to new friends within your universities Community.
On your Home > Explore tab, you'll see carousels of other students studying the same course/program, and of the same nationality, after completing your own profile. Each of the profile previews in these carousels has a Chat button. Simply click/tap this to send this person a message!
On your Home > People tab, you can see a full list of all of the profiles within your Community. Filter by their area of study, or simply scroll through to find new pals.
Alternatively, you can click/tap a new friend's name/thumbnail above a post they have made in one of your Community groups. Clicking their name opens their profile, where you can find out more about them, and click/tap the Send message button if you'd like to chat.
You can also click/tap the profile preview of someone you'd like to connect with in the Member list of a Community group.
The Member list can be found in your group's sidebar - on desktop browser, this will be to the right of the group chat. On the Unibuddy app, you can see the contents of the sidebar by navigating to the three dots in the top right corner. This shows you all members of that group, and means you can link to their profile to find out more about them. Again, you'll see the Send message button if you'd like to chat.
