FAQ

My university isn’t listed. Can I still attend?

If your university isn’t currently listed, you may request approval for it to be included in our events. Please note that if your university is not approved, the event will not be open to you at this time.

You don’t have events in my area—can you host one?

We’d love to hear from you. If we receive enough interest in a particular city, we’ll begin hosting events there. Let us know where you’re located!

I’m between two age ranges. Which event should I attend?

Age ranges are intended as general guidelines. You’re welcome to attend whichever age range you feel most comfortable in.

Can I show up and pay at the door if the event isn’t sold out?

No. All participants must register online in advance. Walk-ins are not permitted, and only registered attendees can participate and receive match results.

Should I exchange phone numbers at the event?

No. Please do not ask for or share contact information during the event. We’ll provide a secure way for you to connect with your mutual matches afterward.

How long do the events last?

Events typically last about two hours. Many attendees choose to stay afterward to continue mingling in a relaxed setting.

The event I want to attend is sold out. Is there a waitlist?

We do not maintain a waitlist. If a spot becomes available, registration will reopen on our website—please check back regularly

I registered but can no longer attend. Can I get a refund?

We do not offer refunds. However, we’re happy to issue a credit that can be applied to a future event. Please notify us as soon as you know you cannot attend—last-minute cancellations affect the balance of the event.

What should I wear?

Dress as you would for a great first date. Aim for polished, confident, and authentic—first impressions matter.
