“Quiet hours” are implemented in UB dorms on weekdays after 11 p.m. to promote healthy sleeping habits and ensure the comfort of all students.
But the nocturnal tendencies of college students are revealed in late-night “Yik Yak” posts that prove UB’s campus remains busy and bustling after dark.
“Yik Yak” is an app that allows users to post anonymously to a message board. Other users within a five-mile radius can then upvote or downvote these posts — impacting the popularity and promotion of the message. Users can also comment on other messages, which can also be upvoted or downvoted. The app is popular on college campuses across the nation, including UB.
The Spectrum compiled a list of funny messages posted on Yik Yak after 1 a.m. and within the last week:
