CSUMB · THE FIVE

Building the Founding Class

Meet the people who could change your life.

Alliup finds five verified students with the potential to become the allies who make college, and whatever comes next, better, richer, and far more exciting. Join the founding pool to help bring The Five to your campus.

WHAT IS THE FIVE?

You will meet plenty of people in college. The Five helps you find the few who could change your life.

Alliup introduces you to five verified students with the strongest potential to become real allies: people who understand you, challenge you, bring out more of you, introduce you to new experiences, and show up when it matters.

We look beyond superficial similarities to how you communicate, what you value, what you have experienced, what excites you, and what you want from life right now. Every introduction explains why you were selected for one another.

We cannot promise that all five will become lifelong friends. But these are not simply five interesting people. They are five people with the potential to make your life bigger, more connected, and more exciting, and perhaps remain part of it long after college ends.

YOUR FIVE ARE WHERE IT BEGINS

Find the right people for whatever comes next.

Use your verified campus network to create focused groups around what you actually want or need.

Do something together

Create groups for fitness, hiking, gaming, music, sports, volunteering, exploring, or almost any shared activity.

Build or work together

Find people for research, creative work, campus organizations, business ideas, and community projects.

Find better potential roommates
