Students give Odibuddy a 4.4 out of 5!
29/11/2022
Meanwhile, the buddy operation "Odibuddy" is already running at full speed. For the second year in a row, we notice how important students, and especially first-year students, find it to be well and easily supported (at the start of their college career)! This was revealed by a survey of students and Odibuddy's.
Striking this year: 17% of the current buddies were themselves supported by an Odibuddy last year!
In this post, we take you through some of the highlights of the project.
Some highlights at a glance

The larger numbers of Odibuddy's can be found on the campuses Brussels, Sint-Niklaas and Aalst and in thecluster Healthcare (26%). Followed by the Business Administration cluster (23%).
