They are experts in student life, knowing the best places to go, top events, and the latest news on campus. Ambassadors help new students navigate their first months and assist current students in discovering more about what their university offers. Roome works closely with ambassadors to create engaging content that resonates with students and to continually improve the app as a lifestyle tool for students.
Becoming a Roome ambassador is open to all students, regardless of year or background. If you love university life, enjoy content creation and social activities, you can join the ambassador club and earn by sharing your experience. To become one, reach out to Roome’s marketing team and tell us about yourself.
