Who we are, how verification works, and how we handle your data.
Campus Link is a verified, student-only marketplace and community platform built to help students buy, sell, and connect safely within their own campus community. Every account is verified using a student .edu email address before it can access the marketplace, so listings and conversations stay within your actual school.
Campus Link was founded by Enoch Asare, a student at Illinois Institute of Technology, after experiencing firsthand how hard it is to safely buy, sell, and find housing as a student without a platform built specifically for campus communities.
When you sign up, we require a valid university-issued .edu email address and send a verification link to that address. An account cannot browse or post on the marketplace until that email is confirmed. This keeps the platform limited to real, currently-enrolled students at participating schools.
We only collect the information needed to run the platform — your name, school email, and the listings, messages, and transactions you create. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Because every user is verified with a school email, transactions happen within your own campus community rather than with anonymous strangers online. As with any marketplace, we still recommend meeting in public, well-lit campus locations for exchanges and never sharing passwords, financial account numbers, or payment-app PINs with another user.
