Only students and staff with a valid university email can join — every profile is a real classmate.

Built by students, for students

UniConnect was born out of a simple frustration: why is it so hard to buy a used textbook from someone in your own dorm, or find a classmate heading to the airport before a holiday break?

Existing platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are full of strangers. Uber and Lyft are expensive. And there's no single trusted place built just for university students.

UniConnect changes that. We're building a campus-first platform where every user is a verified student — creating a community where buying, selling, and getting around is safe, affordable, and easy.

Our mission

To make student life easier and more connected — one campus at a time.

Our values

Trust, safety, and community. We verify every user so you always know who you're dealing with.

Where we're headed

Planning to partner with Houghton University, Alfred University, and Alfred State to bring UniConnect to the Southern Tier.

Sell what you have. Find what you need.

From textbooks to mini-fridges, your campus marketplace means you can sell in minutes and buy for less — from someone right on your campus.

Every transaction on UniConnect ends with a rating — keeping our community honest, safe, and accountable. After completing a ride or receiving an item, both parties can leave a review.

Sellers are rated on item accuracy, communication, and pickup experience. Drivers are rated on punctuality, safety, and friendliness. Buyers and passengers are rated too — so everyone stays accountable.

Ratings are visible on every profile, so you always know the reputation of who you're transacting with before you commit.

After a marketplace sale
Rate the item condition, seller communication, and pickup process. Was it as described?
After a rideshare
Rate your driver on punctuality, driving safety, and friendliness — and drivers rate passengers too.
Star ratings + written reviews
Leave 1–5 stars and a short written review. Profiles show your average rating and review count.
Verified reviews only
Only users who completed a real transaction can leave a review — no fake ratings.
Ridesharing beyond the student body.
Faculty-verified accounts
Professors and staff join with their institutional email, keeping the faculty rideshare pool separate and verified.
Student–faculty rides
Faculty can offer rides to students heading the same direction — a great option for commuters going off-campus or to regional events.
Recurring commute routes
Professors who commute regularly can post standing routes — students can book a seat for the week or semester.
School trips
Coordinate group travel for field trips, conferences, and school events all in one place.

UniConnect isn't just for students. Faculty and staff members play an important role in campus life — and their commutes often overlap with students going the same way.

With a separate faculty-verified account tier, professors can post commute routes and one-off trips. Students can request a seat, and both parties are rated after each ride — the same trusted system that governs student rides.

It's a safer, more affordable alternative to driving alone — and a simple way for faculty to give back to the students they see every day.
