usc, section by section.
lecturemates turns your class schedule into a set of rooms — one per section you're actually enrolled in. no institutional data, no feed algorithm, no scraping the registrar. just the classmates who share your seat number, verified with the .edu address that got you into the room in the first place.
every class is a room
add a section and it becomes a chat, automatically — no group to find, no link to share. leave the section and the room is gone from your list. that's the whole model.
a roster, not a directory
you choose what shows on each section's roster, per class, the moment you add it. and a section's roster only ever appears once enough classmates have opted in — a small seminar where you're one of three visible people isn't a "roster," it's a list of suspects, so we don't build one.
anonymous, not consequence-free
each room has a running, anonymous board for the stuff nobody wants their name on. posting anonymously is rate-limited and only turns on once a room is big enough that "anonymous" actually means something. abusive posts get reported and removed by moderators — anonymity protects what you say, not what you say that hurts someone.
greek rank
a daily, campus-voted leaderboard for frats and sororities — one upvote and one downvote per list, per day, resetting at midnight. ranked over today, this week, and this month, so a bad tuesday doesn't define a chapter's whole semester.
.edu verified, always
every account starts with a real usc email address. that address confirms you belong in the sections you claim — it's never shown to classmates, and it isn't something other students can look up through the app.
built for one campus
lecturemates isn't trying to be everywhere at once. it's built around one school's actual course catalog and one school's actual academic calendar, which is the only way "your section" means anything specific instead of a vague guess.
not affiliated with usc
lecturemates is an independent product built for usc students. it isn't operated, endorsed, or reviewed by the university, and it doesn't use usc's name, logo, or seal — "usc" here is a description of who it's for, not a claim of affiliation.
