Pool UChicago

Pool is the app for finding deals, rides, events, and finding out what your friends are doing — all in one place.

POOL RADAR — DEALS
Radar drops exclusive, verified-student-only deals from spots around town. Free signature dishes, meaningful percentage-off checks, BOGOs, and other offers worth rerouting your day for. Walk in, tap the deal, swipe to redeem at the counter — done in a few seconds. One redemption per student per drop, verified .edu only, so offers stay real and scarce. Browse past redemptions anytime in My Deals.

POOL RADAR — EVENTS
See every event worth showing up to: parties, pop-ups, shows, student-org events, whatever's trending nearby. Tap in for details, location, and who else is going. Hosting something? Submit it in seconds and after verification get it in front of the feed.

RIDE FEED
The full picture of every ride happening around you. Post your own trip in seconds. My Rides keeps every upcoming and past trip organized.

AIRPORT POOLING
Heading home for break or catching a flight for an internship? Enter your flight details and see who else is traveling around the same window. Connect in the app, coordinate pickup times, and split an Uber or Lyft instead of paying full price alone.

RETURN QUEUE
Flying back? Join the return queue with your airport and window, and Pool matches you with other students landing around the same time so you can share a ride back.

CHAT
Real-time messaging with anyone you're matched with. Coordinate pickup times, confirm who's driving, split the fare, and share ETAs — all without leaving the app.

MULTI-TRIP
Run multiple live trips at once — a weekend run and an airport trip the same week, or two legs of one trip — without them stepping on each other.

PROFILE & PREFERENCES
Control which Radar categories you want to see, manage your verified profile, tune notifications so you don't miss a drop or a match, and review your ride and deal history.

VERIFIED STUDENTS ONLY
Verified .edu sign-in means you're in the app with real students, not randoms. Every Radar deal is hand-negotiated with a local partner. Free to use, always.

Turn on notifications so you don't miss the next drop, the next event, or the next ride.
