How reviews and conversations work

Reviews are moderated for relevance, privacy and authenticity. Constructive criticism is welcome; the team does not edit ratings.
Publishing a review does not automatically verify enrolment. A checked-study badge reflects a separate team check, not a university endorsement.
Ambassador profiles require a current-enrolment check and explicit publication consent.
The ambassador accepts each request before the team can schedule a conversation. No contact details are published or automatically shared.
Use “My requests” to track responses. Automatic email, WhatsApp notifications and meeting creation are not connected.
