Answers for using EduHookup
Learn how campus browsing, posting, categories, messaging, verification, safety reports, jobs, internships, tutors, employers, and college communities work.
What is EduHookup?
EduHookup is a college-focused posting and discovery platform for campus communities, social connections, events, housing, marketplace listings, study support, tutoring, jobs, internships, rides, clubs, guides, and other student opportunities.
Do I need to be at least 18?
Yes. EduHookup is for adults who are at least 18 years old. A college enrollment, student ID, or .edu email address does not establish that a person is 18 or older.
What does .edu verification mean?
It helps show that an account has access to an academic email address connected with a school. It does not guarantee identity, intentions, safety, background, or current enrollment.
Can I browse by state, city, or college?
Yes. EduHookup supports state pages, city pages, college communities, category browsing, and search tools so users can narrow results to a relevant campus area.
What can be posted?
Categories may include social connections, dating, hookups, friends, study buddies, events, housing, textbooks, rides, clubs, campus services, jobs, internships, tutoring, and marketplace listings. Posts must follow the Community Guidelines and Terms of Use.
How do reports and moderation work?
Users can report posts or messages that appear unsafe, misleading, abusive, illegal, exploitative, or spammy. EduHookup moderators may review reports, remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or take other appropriate action.
Can moderators read all private messages?
Private messages are not intended for routine moderator browsing. Messages may be reviewed when a user reports them, when necessary to investigate abuse or platform misuse, or when legally required.
Are escorts or paid sexual arrangements allowed?
No. Escort services, prostitution, commercial sexual services, compensated dating, trafficking, exploitation, and sexual or romantic activity exchanged for money, gifts, housing, tuition, transportation, employment, or anything else of value are prohibited.
How do I stay safe?
Meet publicly, protect private information, arrange your own transportation, avoid suspicious payment requests, and stop communicating with anyone who pressures, threatens, manipulates, or makes you uncomfortable.
