The easy way to make new friends and expand your uni network.

Student Connect matches you with other students so that you can make new connections. During semester time, you can sign up for Student Connect to be matched with others on your course or in your college. You can choose to be matched with one person or, if you'd prefer, a small group.

Outside of semester time, Holiday Connect helps you meet people who are staying at uni for the vacation.

Students who sign up are also invited to bespoke social events - a great way to meet other students who also want to make more connections!

It has been a very good method for meeting new people outside of my course and outside of my flat.
