Trust & safety
Safety on EduHookup
EduHookup is made for student connections, but every online meetup should be handled carefully. Use common sense, protect your personal information, and meet in public campus-friendly places when meeting someone new.
Protect your info
Do not share passwords, financial details, private addresses, class schedules, or sensitive personal information with someone you just met.
Trust your gut
If a message feels pushy, strange, manipulative, or unsafe, stop responding and report or block the person when tools are available.
Student safety guidelines
For first meetings, tell a friend where you are going, keep your phone charged, and arrange your own transportation.
For buying, selling, or exchanging items, meet in a public area and inspect items before handing over money. Avoid wire transfers, gift cards, crypto payments, or anything that feels like a scam.
For dating, friends, study buddies, roommate/social posts, and activity partners, move at your own pace. A real connection does not require rushing, secrecy, or pressure.
