Keen for a break from study? Want to catch up with friends and meet new ones? Just love free food? Join fellow students from 6pm once a week (exact days confirmed week-by-week) for Snacks and Chats, a relaxed and laid-back event in W209 where you can grab drinks and nibbles and let off some steam.

 

UQLS Buddy Program

Starting law at UQ can be an overwhelming experience. First years initially receive a lot of information on a range of new things – from ratio decidendi to eduroam. Our hope with this program, is to make the transition from high school to university as smooth as possible and also to provide older buddies with a platform to work on their mentoring skills.

Buddies are encouraged to meet up for a casual chat every so often and stay in contact by email over any concerns the new student buddy may have with their academic endeavours and university life. Buddies are also invited to various events throughout the year that are held to foster the bond between buddies and relieve the stress of everyday university life.
