Unibuddy lists its UK office at 5 New Street Square, London, EC4A 3TW, United Kingdom.
What it is
Unibuddy provides universities, schools, and colleges with a platform for student recruitment and engagement through peer connections. Chat lets prospective students have one-to-one conversations with current students, staff, and faculty. Community offers group messaging so students can form connections before arrival. Assistant uses AI to answer questions based on an institution’s website content and can direct students to a person for more help. Intelligence includes conversation insights, microsurveys, and benchmarking data. The platform names Slate, Zapier, and Campus Management among its CRM integrations, and also lists engagement analytics, automated campaigns, SMS outreach, and student surveys. Discover helps institutions present their brand and ambassadors on partner networks; additional fees vary by partner. Unibuddy says setup typically takes 1–2 weeks, with the timing depending on the institution’s resources and implementation schedule. Its team provides training and support for student ambassadors and staff. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan.
