FAQ

What is On The Town?

On The Town is a platform where club organizers create recurring social events — student clubs, study groups, campus mixers, and more. These clubs need great venues and spaces to host their events, and that's where you come in. As a partner institution, you get discovered by organizers who are actively looking for places to bring their groups together on a regular basis.

How can colleges partner with On The Town?

Sign up as a partner venue — it's completely free. Student clubs, study groups, and campus organizations are always looking for on-campus and nearby spaces to host their regular meetings and events. Once registered, student organizers can discover your spaces and start scheduling recurring campus activities.

What types of clubs host events at college venues?

Student clubs, study groups, Greek life organizations, intramural sports teams, cultural societies, and academic interest groups. These bring regular campus activity and help students build the social connections that are directly linked to higher retention and graduation rates.

Does it cost anything for colleges to partner?

No. Partnering with On The Town is completely free for institutions. We never charge fees, take a cut, or require any subscription. You simply get a platform that helps students discover campus activities and connect with each other more effectively.

How can our college improve student retention and engagement?

Research consistently shows that students who participate in campus social activities are far more likely to persist through graduation. On The Town makes it easy for student organizers to create clubs, schedule recurring events, and match students by interest — removing the friction that keeps many students from getting involved. The result is a more connected campus where fewer students feel isolated.

How does On The Town help first-year and transfer students get involved?

First-year and transfer students often struggle to find their social footing, which is a leading driver of early dropout. On The Town lets orientation leaders and student life staff create welcome groups, interest-based mixers, and study circles that connect new students with peers from day one. Instead of hoping students figure it out on their own, you give them a structured path to belonging.

What makes On The Town different from existing campus event platforms like Presence or CampusGroups?

Most campus platforms focus on event listings and attendance tracking, but On The Town is built around community formation — matching students into groups, facilitating recurring meetups, and helping organizers build clubs that last beyond a single event. It's free for your institution and works alongside your existing tools to deepen student engagement rather than just count it.
