ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Study Buddies
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Study Buddies makes it possible for undergraduate students to sign up for small, self-organizing study groups that meet in-person (on-campus) and/or virtually. University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder research shows that helping students find classmates to study with can help them increase their sense of belonging and be more successful in their courses.
