Reason: Currently, this Social Link information is only from Persona 3 Reload and Portable. If P3/P3F is different, then that info is still needed. Additionally, dialogue for some rank ups and hangouts are missing.

Yuko can be found in the hallway on the 2nd floor of Gekkoukan. Since she is a school-related Social Link, she is unavailable on the week before exams, and also unavailable when school is on vacation.

On some days off school, Yuko will text the protagonist and ask him out. More information about these can be found under Hangouts.

Hangouts

Sometimes, Yuko will text the protagonist and ask if he wants to hangout. The dates this can occur are: 5/31, 7/5, 8/4, 8/26, 9/22, 10/25, 11/15, 1/6, 1/17.

What hangout is seen depends on what rank Yuko is. During these hangouts, there is one prompt which gives points.

If the protagonist picked the romance flag options on ranks 3, 5, and 7, then he will see the "pre"-romance version of her rank 8 hangout which gives him slightly different responses.
