One Liner: Freebo is the campus-exclusive social marketplace that securely connects verified university students to buy, sell, and manage freelance services.

Abstract

Freebo is a campus-exclusive social marketplace designed to help students safely find and offer trusted services within their university community. The platform addresses common issues with social media and word-of-mouth service discovery, including buried requests, lack of verification, and safety concerns, by providing a centralized system with university email authentication, structured service listings, integrated messaging, and reputation-based reviews. Built using a modern full-stack architecture, Freebo enables students to seamlessly act as both buyers and sellers for services such as tutoring, photography, and moving assistance. By prioritizing trust, accessibility, and community-driven collaboration, Freebo aims to redefine how students hire, work, and connect on campus.
