What is Ruggles?
Ruggles is a social networking app designed for Northeastern University students to find and connect with others who share common interests, majors, courses, clubs, and more. It helps users discover people they might have something in common with on campus.
How does Ruggles help me find people?
You add tags to your profile representing your interests, background, and activities. Ruggles then allows you to search for other users by combining multiple tags, showing you individuals who match all your selected criteria and highlighting additional shared interests.
Can I create groups on Ruggles?
