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?

General marketplaces can connect you with strangers, while commercial transportation is not designed around classmates already making the same trip. There's no single trusted place built just for university students.

UniConnect changes that. We're building a campus-first platform limited to approved university email accounts, bringing buying, selling, and shared trips into one community.

Our mission

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

Our values

Trust, safety, and community. University-email access helps keep the platform campus-focused.

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.

Know who you're dealing with.

After an eligible completed transaction, UniConnect users can leave a rating to help keep the community 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.
Community feedback
Signed-in members can share ratings and written feedback. Report content that violates community rules.
Ridesharing beyond the student body.
Faculty email access
Professors and staff join with an approved institutional email address. UniConnect does not independently verify identity or employment.
Student–faculty commutes
Faculty and staff can share recurring commutes with students already heading the same direction.
Recurring commute routes
Commuters can post standing routes, and students choose a specific eligible service date before booking.
Campus-centered routes
Coordinate planned commutes between Alfred and supported New York destinations.

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 staff email account tier, professors and staff can post recurring commute routes. Students choose an eligible service date, and both parties can rate the experience after a completed ride.

It's a practical alternative to driving alone — and a simple way for faculty to share planned trips with the students they see every day.
