BuzzKinect vs 4EIGNERS

Find fellow students on campus who are looking to connect WITH BUZZ. A real time, vicinity-based notification that informs you that another student is looking to connect. You may also buzz with ONLY students who share any common interest, for example A PARTICULAR SPORT, ARTS & CRAFTS, or HIKING. FACE-TO-FACE CONNECTIONS Buzz is focused on establishing face-to-face campus connections. RECEIVE A BUZZ When you walk by another campus user you receive buzz. CHECK AND DECIDE If both users accept the buzz you’re encouraged to meet and talk face-to-face. (You may also decide to only meet others who share a common interest such as golf or sewing) YOU HAVE A NEW FRIEND The user is then saved to your “Hive” or friends list for future reference.

Starting university in a new country is one of the most exciting chapters of your life, and one of the loneliest, if you're doing it alone. 4EIGNERS exists so you don't have to. It's a community built by and for international students, designed around the things that actually matter in those first weeks and months: finding a place to live, understanding how things work, and meeting people who genuinely understand what you're going through. Whether you're arriving for your first semester or you've been here a while and are ready to build real connections, 4EIGNERS gives you a place to start. What you'll find inside: Connect with other international students at your university and nearby campuses, people who've faced the same questions you have, from navigating visas to figuring out where to grab your first meal off campus. Search and share housing listings from students who've been in your shoes, so you can skip the guesswork and find a place that feels right. Get honest, peer-to-peer guidance on visas, paperwork, and the parts of studying abroad that no orientation packet quite covers. Discover job and internship opportunities shared by students who've navigated the process themselves. Message people directly, to ask a question, plan a coffee, or simply say hello to someone from home. 4EIGNERS isn't about likes or feeds. It's about building the kind of community that makes a new country start to feel like home. Connect Beyond Borders.
