The campus party board. Edu Moves is where your school’s nights actually happen—parties, kickbacks, tailgates, and events posted by the people throwing them. FIND THE MOVE Scroll a feed built for your school—not an algorithm’s idea of it. Filter by Tonight, This Weekend, or people you follow. Switch to the map to see what’s happening around your college town, pinned exactly where it’s going down. SEE WHO’S GOING Every move shows a live RSVP count. Tap it to view the guest list, explore profiles, and follow the hosts who throw the best nights. POST YOUR OWN Hosting something? Post your move in seconds with a cover photo, time, location, and the details people need. Share it anywhere with a link—even people without the app can view it. Want to keep the address on a need-to-know basis? Make it private, and the location will only be revealed to people who RSVP. YOUR CROWD, YOUR CALL Post to your entire school, only your followers, or a private invite list. Need a crowd tonight? Boost your move to pin it near the top of the feed. OUR FINDS We bring upcoming events from your school’s official calendar directly into the feed, including concerts, games, showcases, and more. BUILT FOR STUDENTS Edu Moves supports more than 100 universities and counting. Don’t see yours? Request it directly in the app. Follow your favorite hosts, get notified when someone you follow posts a move, and receive reminders before events you’ve joined. SAFE BY DESIGN Private addresses remain hidden until you RSVP. Every post and profile can be reported or blocked, and our team reviews reports within 24 hours. Your school. Your people. Your night. Find the move.
