Swansea BuddyUp

A student to walk with you.

Swansea BuddyUp is a student-to-student support programme created to help ACS members settle into Swansea, make friends and feel less alone.

Starting university, moving to a new city or coming from another country can feel overwhelming. Swansea BuddyUp connects new students with existing ACS members who can help them adjust to university life, understand Swansea, attend events, find support and build friendships.

Through Swansea BuddyUp, students can get support with

  • Settling into Swansea
  • Finding their way around campus
  • Understanding ACS and university life
  • Making friends
  • Attending events with someone
  • Knowing where to get support
  • Dealing with homesickness
  • Feeling part of the ACS community

You did not come to Swansea to feel alone. ACS is here to walk with you.
