I liked it too. I live very near to UNC campus and there were a few times that I heard their alarm going off, campus wide. I would jump on Yik-Yak and find out immediately what was going on. "Gun on campus" or "Knife on Campus, lock doors, stay inside." "Suspect found. Safe to go outside again." -Good to know stuff.

People with problems calling out and getting really thoughtful advice and aid were the things I saw that impressed me the most.

A nurse and I think a councilor from the college were both active on Yik Yak. They handed out a lot of good advice.
