how do i verify my university account?

welcome to blob! to keep our community safe and exclusively for students, we need to verify your university status. it's a quick process that ensures you're connecting with real peers on your campus.

shield why does blob verify students?

we prioritize safety and trust. by verifying every account with a valid university email address, we create a secure "third space" where you can be yourself, free from bots or outsiders.

the steps

1

enter your university email

during sign-up, you'll be prompted to provide your official student email address.

e.g., name@university.edu
2

check your inbox

we'll send a magic link or a 6-digit verification code to that address. it usually arrives within seconds.

3

return to blob

click the link or enter the code in the app, and you're in! start exploring your campus feed.

troubleshooting

didn't receive the email?

check your spam or junk folder. sometimes official university filters are a bit aggressive. if it's still not there after 5 minutes, you can request a new code in the app.

we currently support most major universities. if your domain (e.g., @alumni.university.edu) isn't working, it might not be in our database yet. please use the support form below to let us know.
