The academic year is already 6 weeks old and our first year students and all new students are starting to find their way in our college.
Within the Odibuddy project team, we noticed that many new students already had practical and education-related questions before the start of the academic year, such as "where do I have to be on September 20th?", "where can I find all the information about my program?" or "how do the different platforms work?".
To answer these questions of beginning students, more than 110 senior students were deployed to show them the way and provide a point of contact.
It is also important to know that this buddy work is closely linked to one of the recommendations that VVS, the Flemish Association of Students, is formulating to increase the general well-being of students within higher education institutions.
Mid-October we conducted a first survey among our Odibuddy's and students who rely on such an Odibuddy. And a lot of great results came out of that.
