Your whole campus, in one app. Studaverse is the all-in-one student platform built for university and college life in Ottawa. It brings together the things students use every day — buying and selling, finding work, discovering events, asking questions, connecting with classmates, and staying organized — in one campus-focused community. Currently built for verified students at Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, and Algonquin College. Instead of jumping between marketplace apps, job boards, event pages, group chats, social media, and community forums, Studaverse gives you one place designed around student life. **BUY & SELL ON CAMPUS** Find textbooks, electronics, furniture, clothing, dorm essentials, school supplies, and more from students around your campus. Post your own listings, browse what's available, and message other students directly. A campus-focused marketplace makes it easier to find what you need without searching through thousands of unrelated listings. **FIND JOBS & GIGS** Discover part-time jobs, student opportunities, tutoring, freelance work, and local gigs. Whether you're looking to earn some extra money, offer a service, find a tutor, or connect with someone for short-term work, Studaverse helps bring opportunities closer to the student community. **DISCOVER CAMPUS EVENTS** See what's happening around you. Find campus events, student activities, social gatherings, study sessions, club events, and other opportunities to get involved. Studaverse helps make it easier to discover what's happening beyond the classroom. **ASK THE STUDENT COMMUNITY** Have a question about a course, professor, campus service, program, student life, or something else? Post it to the Studaverse Q&A community and get answers from students who may have already been through the same thing. Sometimes the most useful answer comes from another student. **MESSAGE STUDENTS DIRECTLY** Keep your campus conversations in one place. Use Studaverse messaging to communicate with buyers and sellers, respond to opportunities, connect with classmates, and continue conversations from across the app. **STAY ORGANIZED** Use Studaverse's student-focused planning tools to keep important parts of campus life easier to manage from one place. Studaverse is designed to become a daily student hub — not just another app you open once and forget about. **A COMMUNITY BUILT AROUND STUDENTS** Studaverse focuses on verified students so the people, listings, questions, opportunities, and events you see are more relevant to your campus community. Whether you're trying to sell an old textbook, find a part-time job, figure out what's happening this weekend, ask about a difficult course, or connect with another student, Studaverse is built to make student life simpler. **BUILT FOR OTTAWA STUDENTS** Studaverse currently supports: • Carleton University • University of Ottawa • Algonquin College More campuses and features are planned as the Studaverse community grows. One app. One student community. Your whole campus in one place.
