How it works

How UniChat works

Connect with real students through anonymous forums, private chat, and optional Meet profiles — all in your verified campus space.

Two ways to use UniChat

Start with a basic account for forums and messaging. Add an optional Meet profile whenever you want to connect more deeply.

Basic account

Just email, username, and password. Perfect for forum discussions and messaging. Use any username you like — completely separate from your real identity.

Meet profile (optional)

Want to meet new people? Complete your Meet profile with photos, interests, and preferences — kept entirely separate from your forum identity.

Identities stay separate

Your real name and username are never linked publicly. Other users can't connect your Meet profile to your forum posts.

Simple sign-up, maximum privacy

Create your account with just three things — and you're in.

01

Verify with university email

Sign up with your university email (for verification), a username of your choice, and a password. That's it.

02

Pick any username

“johnny,” “studybuddy2025,” or “anonymousstudent” — your username is completely separate from your real identity and can't be traced back to you.

03

Add Meet later (optional)

You can always add profile details later, but your forum discussions stay completely separate from your Meet profile.

Post as yourself — or stay anonymous

You choose your identity on every single post. Show your username to build a reputation, or go fully anonymous to speak freely. Only you ever see “anonymous (you)” — everyone else just sees “anonymous.”

Two completely separate identities

In forums you're known by your username; in Meet you have a detailed profile with photos and interests. These identities never overlap — so you can discuss sensitive topics freely while keeping a separate social presence.

Drag the card — right to connect, left to pass.

Discover your campus, your way

With an optional Meet profile you can swipe through real, verified students from your university — for study partners, friendships, or just to see who's around. It's a match when you both swipe right, and the conversation begins.

Talk. Meet. Belong.

Everything you can do inside your verified campus community.

Anonymous forum

Start topics and join discussions specific to your university. Post with your username or completely anonymously — you decide per post.

Meet new people

Create a detailed Meet profile and swipe through real students from your university for study groups, friendships, or shared interests.

Direct messaging

Take conversations private with secure messaging. Message anyone who's posted publicly — no Meet profile required.
