Real Students, Real Stories
Hear from international students who found their footing in the UK with UK Buddy by their side.
The arrival checklist was a lifesaver. I had my bank account, SIM, and GP sorted within the first 5 days. I didn't feel lost at all — completely different from what my seniors experienced.
The living cost calculator helped me choose Birmingham over London. I'm saving £400 a month and the job market here is great. Best decision I made before landing.
Got the visa update alert before my university even sent a notification. That alone saved me from a major compliance issue. The forum answered my questions in under an hour.
Used the CV generator to land my first part-time job within 3 weeks of arriving. The UK format is so different from home — this tool nailed it. Got 4 interviews from 6 applications.
