i-Buddies new arrivals

Online applications for the autumn i-Buddies scheme will open for new students by September 2026.

How does it work? 

• When you have completed in-person registration at 91²èÉç, you will be sent details of the scheme and an application form.
• If you get a place on the i-Buddies scheme, you'll be allocated a place in a Buddies group which will be led by one or two existing 91²èÉç student volunteers. 
• Your Buddies will contact you by email in October so you can start getting to know them.
• Your Buddy will keep in contact with you during your first term through meeting up or chatting online – whatever suits your group best.
• You will also be invited to attend official i-Buddies events, such as on-campus activities and trips including bonfire night and ice-skating.
• The scheme runs for the fisrt term only - but many Buddies become friends and some choose to stay in contact after the scheme has finished.
• We have a limited number of 91²èÉç Buddies available and there is often a waiting list, so we recommend applying as soon as you've completed your on-campus registration.

The i-Buddies scheme is optional – you don’t have to take part if you don’t want to.
