In Unibuddy Community, you can meet new people who will be studying the same subject as you, travelling from the same country, and with similar hobbies and interests - making it even easier for you to create meaningful connections!
First step: joining your Community 🍧
To get into your Community and connect with other students, follow the steps below:
Joining a university's Community is invite-only. Your university must send you an invitation to your registered email address. Check your inbox for an invitation email.
If you already have a Unibuddy account linked to your invited email, log into your account. If you need help accessing your account, use the "Reset Password" option.
If you are new to Unibuddy, create an account using the exact same email address as the one that received the invitation. Avoid registering through Google or Apple if their email addresses differ from the invited one.
If you previously signed up with Google or Apple, continue to access Unibuddy through that same method.
In case you did not receive the invitation or lost access to it, contact your university’s admissions office to request a new one. Provide your full name and email address to speed up this process.
Once you have joined your Community, you can download the Unibuddy app to chat with new friends on the go at the below links:
