To make your transition a little easier, take the opportunity to email or meet a UniBuddy. UniBuddys are senior students who provide support to new students making their transition to university life. ISS aim to match you with a UniBuddy from either your home country or faculty so that you can ask questions about living and studying at UNSW and in Sydney. UniBuddys are here to help YOU!
