Cohorts is a student community app for Canadian high school, college and university students, with peer mentorship coming soon. We connect you with honest perspectives from peers who've already been where you are, covering programs, campus life, and the moments nobody talks about.
Students are drowning in information, but starving for guidance.
The internet promised more answers. It delivered more noise. Real support comes from people who have been exactly where you are, and felt exactly what you feel.
Too many programs, none of them feel like yours.
Family expectations versus what actually fits.
Refreshing the portal at 2am, hoping for clarity.
Everyone else seems to have it figured out.
Surrounded by people, still feeling unseen.
Forums, ads, and AI bots that don't know you.
Everything you wish someone had already told you.

An App Built for Real Student Life: Not Engagement Metrics
No streaks. No leaderboards. No dopamine traps. Just a quietly powerful space for the decisions that shape the rest of your life.
Built by a family who needed it.
When Maleah was choosing universities, the most useful thing wasn't a viewbook. It was a call with a student already in the program, found through a friend of a friend. Cohorts makes that conversation possible for every student, not just the ones with the right connections.
