How can I find out what students at Stanford, MIT, Harvard or CMU actually think about something?
Sensus has a verified space for each of these schools: Stanford, MIT, Harvard, CMU, Berkeley, Cornell, UChicago, Yale, Harvey Mudd. Members, anonymously if they choose, answer questions about classes, professors, dorms, dining, places on and off campus and campus life, and the app shows the split as counted shares, the week's highlights, rankings of people and places, and a Nearby feed pinned to the building you are in.
What a school space answers
- Which class or professor to take this term, as a ranking the room voted on.
- Where the late-night run actually wins, measured.
- What the room thinks of a dorm, a library floor, a cafe, with readings that move week to week.
- The week's highlights, proposed by members and voted on.
How membership works
Each school's space is gated; verified students carry a seal. Posting can be anonymous. Applications are reviewed, and members can send invite links.
