UniSalad is a platform for students to connect with others from the same university, to ask questions, share honest student tips and solve student life needs. UniSalad is made up of five categories: • Q&A: Post questions, tips and advice to other students, and stay connected with your student community • Buy & Sell: Buy and sell tickets, books, bikes and everything in between for free • Lost & Found: Reunite yourself with your lost belongings, or flag something you found • Housing: Advertise spare rooms in your house or find yourself a new student pad • Confessions: Dive into the app and share your confessions or react to the latest buzz. It's all anonymous, so you can say what you really think! UniSalad is free and exclusive to students from your university.
