About

@uni

Read full description

@uni is a space that has been crafted for university students to be themselves and meet like minded peers outside of class and student societies. Our University experiences online are limited to those provided by Universities like watching lectures or booking activities. What we are lacking is a space just to hangout and get to know other uni students online. A space to ask for a laptop charger when your laptop is almost dead and all your friends skipped the 9AM. A space to comfortably share about a crush you have on the person that always sits in the front row during the Tuesday afternoon lecture (in hopes that they see it and say hi). A space to see what everyone is up to on campus when you magically catch ‘freshers flue’ in April. @uni is your online social space while at uni.
