In Unibuddy Community, you can meet new people who will be studying the same subject as you, and of the same nationality, making it all the more easier for you to create meaningful connections!

To connect with other students, follow the steps below:

  1. Joining a universities Community is invite only, so you would need to receive an invitation from the university to join. You can find more on this here.

  2. Once you have accepted the invitation, you can log into the Unibuddy mobile app (you'll find download links below), or the browser version of your Community at https://community.unibuddy.co

3. Ensure that you have completed your profile, to have the best chances of matching with others.

4. Click on your Home tab.

5. Click on the Edit button from the prompt underneath Explore

6. Select your Area of Study and Nationality from the list provided, then click on the Reveal matches button.

7. You will see other students from the same country, or studying the same program or subject! If there are no other students on your program or from the same country at that time, you can check back later.

8. Select which student you'd like to chat with from the carousel by clicking on their Chat button.

9. Start chatting! Feeling stuck for words? You can use one of our icebreakers to get the conversation started.

10. Changed your mind about which subject you'll study, or hold dual nationality? Click/tap the Edit button next to your 'Studying' and 'People from' carousels any time to see updated matches.
