Eight Reasons to become a MDXSU Buddy
Coming back to Middlesex this Autumn? Cast your mind back to your first term here - the excitement, the nerves, the new people, the new experiences. Coming to a new university - maybe even a new country - can be daunting, which is why we've set up the Buddy Programme.
Brand new for this year, MDXSU's Buddy Programme matches new students with returning students, giving new students someone to turn to about the social side of uni life. Most importantly, this "someone" is a Middlesex student who has asked the same questions and been through the same experiences, making their advice and knowledge all the more valuable.

1. You'll get to impart all your wisdom to a whole new generation of Middlesex students.
All that insider knowledge you've gained about the university and London? You'll finally have an eager audience to share it with.
2. You have the potential to have a massive impact on someone's life.
Some students really struggle to adapt to university life. Your support could be the difference between dropping out and completing their degree.
3. It's easy to fit around your working, studying and social life.
As a Buddy, you'll need to attend our two Buddy Meet & Greets during Freshers. After this, you'll need to spend just one hour per week on your Buddying duties for the following one month. Easy.
4. Being a Buddy looks amazing on your CV and helps you develop multiple skills.
It's a tough world out there - the things you've achieved outside of your degree make a massive difference when you're applying for jobs.
5. It's not a one way thing.
Chances are, you'll end up learning just as much from your Buddy as they do from you.
6. You'll get a free MDXSU t-shirt.
Not the biggest reason... but still. Great look.
7. You won't be on your own.
MDXSU will be on hand to provide training and support.
8. When your Buddy looks back nostalgically at their first year of uni, you'll be part of their happy memories.
"I'd like to thank my family, my fans... my MDXSU Buddy during my first term at Middlesex..."
