The Cambridge student app

Life beyondlectures,all in one punt.

Societies, events, student trading, formal swaps and anonymous confessions, in one verified space for Cambridge students.

01The problem

Scattered across forty group chats.

Plans buried under unread messages, society events found the morning after, tickets and kit spread across too many places to check. The Punt puts it in one place.

02Societies and events

Know what is on before it is over.

Follow the societies you care about, see their updates in one feed and browse upcoming events by when they happen.

03Marketplace and formal swaps

Trade with people on your side of the Cam.

Buy and sell across General, Tickets and Formals, browse listings on a map of town, and swap a formal place with a student at another college.

04Confessions

Say it without saying who.

Anonymous, text-based confessions and comments, with report and block tools to control what you see.

05Verified

A student room, checked at the door.

Accounts are verified as Cambridge students at sign-up, so the people you meet on the river are students too.

What it does

Six things,
one app.

  1. 01

    Societies

    Discover Cambridge societies, follow the ones you care about and see their updates in one feed instead of twelve mailing lists.

  2. 02

    Events

    Upcoming events gathered into a single list, so the talk, the club night and the garden party stop slipping past you.

  3. 03

    Marketplace

    Buy and sell with other verified students across General, Tickets and Formals, or browse listings on a map of town.

  4. 04

    Formal swaps

    Trade formal places with students at other colleges. Swap a Tuesday at yours for a Thursday at theirs.

  5. 05

    Confessions

    Anonymous, text-based confessions and comments. Say the thing. Keep it kind, and keep your name out of it.

  6. 06

    Verified

    Accounts are verified as Cambridge students at sign-up, so the room you are talking in is a student room.

Societies and events

Know what is on before it is over.

Follow your societies and see their updates as they post them. Browse upcoming events by when they happen, save the ones you want, and send them to whoever you are dragging along.
