The Student Buddying Scheme

The Student Buddying Scheme matches new undergraduates with a Student Buddy. These students have a first point of contact who will share their own experiences and be on hand (either in person or over email) with friendly advice.

Colleges

Colleges run many activities and events as well as having committees and volunteering opportunities for students to get involved with.  They also provide listening ear/support services that can help support students in getting involved with clubs and societies and meeting new people.
