Being a member of the Buddy Scheme has lots of benefits; it will help you settle in, make new friends and learn about life at Warwick. We match current Warwick students (Buddy Scheme Volunteers) with students who are new (Buddy Scheme Participants), based on their answers to a short but informative questionnaire about their preferences. We feel that it can be really beneficial for students to be matched with a peer who knows what it is like to be a student at Warwick and who can identify with other students’ experiences. It is a flexible, informal scheme that works around you! Take your first step to new connections by joining the Buddy Scheme today!
