Got questions about a uni? Who better to speak to than someone who's currently studying there? You can now chat with real students who can help you right here on Whatuni! We've partnered with leading EdTech startup Unibuddy to offer a peer-to-peer advice platform for users on our website. It's an exciting partnership for us, and we hope you make full use of the tool to help you make the best decisions on your university journey.
What's Unibuddy?
Partnering with universities around the world since 2017, Unibuddy helps prospective students to virtually connect with student ambassadors, staff and other students of a uni, giving you a source of info that's as honest and authentic as they come. Learn more at unibuddy.com.
On Whatuni, the platform lets you chat in real time with current uni students – your 'Buddies'. You can ask them questions about anything from the halls of residence, to the workload, to the nightlife. We've initially launched with Buddies from a few select institutions and will be adding more very soon.
Our partnership comes as demand grows for peer-to-peer support during uni applications. A study by Unibuddy and Intead found that 57% of students said speaking with an institution’s student ambassadors was the most helpful resource for choosing a university.
