DormTea is the anonymous, .edu-verified place students check before they pick a dorm. An Ambassador makes sure their own campus actually has honest reviews on it — starting with their own room.

"Lighting was rough so bring lamps, but the RAs were easygoing and the communal bathrooms actually stayed clean all semester."

No salary, no contract — just real leverage on a real problem your own campus has.
Most dorms on DormTea are still sitting at "0 ratings," waiting for someone honest to break the seal. Be that person for your own hall.
"Campus Ambassador, DormTea" — with a real responsibility behind it: getting your school's housing intel out of group chats and into the open.
Every school we finish mapping gets its own dated entry in DormTea's public changelog. Get your school there, and you're named as the reason it happened.
Stickers and DormTea swag, first shipped to the campuses that got there first.
No dashboard, no quota — just four things, timed to when they actually matter.
Sign in with your .edu email and rate your own dorm — honestly, on room quality, cleanliness, quietness, social life, location, and the rest. This is the review that gets your hall off zero.
Drop your dorm's DormTea link in your floor's group chat. Ask three or four people to add their own review — the goal is more honest opinions, not just more stars.
If a hall at your school isn't listed yet, use Suggest a dorm at the bottom of any page. It goes live immediately — no approval wait, no ticket to file.
When housing selection opens each spring, that's the one week incoming and returning students are actually looking. A single post in your school's housing subreddit or class group, pointing to real reviews, does more good then than any other time of year.
Your own link. Each Ambassador (and each club we partner with) gets a personal link that starts with dormtea.com/r/. When someone opens it we count the visit, and if they then sign up and review a dorm, we count that too. We tally three numbers per link: visits, new accounts and reviews. You'll hear these totals from us, and only once your link has at least five reviews, so a number can never point to one classmate. We never share who wrote which review, and reviews stay anonymous on the site. The link stores a small cookie for 30 days so a sign-up can be matched to it; the privacy policy has the details.
Write your own review. Never post on someone else's behalf, even with their blessing.
Don't lean on anyone for a specific rating. Honest and unflattering beats polished and fake.
Reviews aren't attributed to anyone. Don't pressure a floormate to reveal which one they wrote.
Tell us who you are and how you'd get your campus talking. Rolling basis — no deadline.
Thanks — it's in the DormTea inbox and we'll reply to the email you gave us.
We use these details only to reply about the Ambassador program. They, and your resume if you attach one, are emailed to the DormTea team and not shown on the site.
