Campus Safety GuidelinesTrading with fellow students should be easy, economical, and safe. Follow these practical, campus-tested rules to protect your money and personal safety during transactions.
Zero delivery or commitment fees before you physically inspect the item.
Meet at school gates, faculty quadrangles, or busy commercial junctions.
Plug in, test battery, examine screens, and verify condition on the spot.
StudentHive is designed for local campus trade. Never agree to meet a buyer or seller inside an isolated private hostel room at night, behind deserted lecture theatres, or along dark bush paths.
The single most common online trick in student communities is asking for upfront “delivery fees”, “fuel money”, or “commitment deposits” to hold an item. On StudentHive, buyers should NEVER send money before physically seeing, touching, and testing the item.
Test charging port, cameras, touch response, speakers, SIM tray, and ensure no iCloud/Google Account locks are present.
Check battery drain runtime, all USB ports, keyboard keys, charger brick, and display hinges.
Plug blenders, hot plates, or fans into an active socket (at a campus store or cafeteria) to verify motors and heating elements.
Check for missing pages, correct textbook edition, syllabus alignment, and clear print.
Payment execution: Once satisfied, initiate your transfer through reliable banking apps (OPay, PalmPay, Moniepoint, or commercial banks) right in front of the seller. Wait until the seller confirms receiving the credit before parting ways.
StudentHive displays trust badges on seller profiles and listings. Always check the seller's credentials before heading out to meet:
The seller has verified an active university email address (e.g., @student.lautech.edu.ng). You know they are an enrolled student on your campus.
The seller operates an established student business or off-campus retail store vetted and verified by StudentHive platform administrators.
Always preserve your conversation history. Do not use “disappearing messages” or delete chat logs with counterparties until the transaction is 100% completed.
In case of immediate physical security concerns or theft around LAUTECH campuses, notify the LAUTECH Security Unit (Main Gate / Under G Security Post) or Student Affairs immediately, and report the incident directly through our campus safety support desk.
