The Online Guide To Surviving College – Collegeosity.com 0

Posted on June 16, 2010 by therealcollegeguideblog

Collegeosity is a website that allows college students to share ideas, ask for help from their peers, save money, share their reviews, and guide each other through the college experience. 

The people behind Collegeosity noticed that high school college counselors and college resources largely deal with academic issues, and not with the basic, day-to-day details of life away from home, leaving students to feel intimidated by being away for possibly the first time. They also noticed that students have to deal with a small budget and this can be difficult without any experience. Parents and teachers can do only so much, but the people who understand the college experience and can anticipate its difficulties the best are current students. 

College students can use the website to:

  
  • Ask for advice on any personal, college, roommate, budget, or relationship issues on or off campus
  • Ask for homework help
  • Share and read reviews on books, movies, their college, and professors
  • Buy/sell their books, CDs, DVDs, etc. to students in their schools (no third party, and therefore no third party fees when they sell or buy, and no shipping and handling charges, making a substantial difference in students’ budgets)
  • Earn points while participating, and convert them to cash to keep or to donate to their favorite charity
  • Find a job or post their availability (again, to help others and earn money)
  • Enter a contest to win free money or help others to win
Parents can use the site to: 

  • Place free ads to find college students to tutor their kids in different subjects as well as SAT prep and to help with college applications and essays in this competitive landscape.

High school students can use the site to:  

  • Ask college students questions regarding college selection, college prep work, and their futures as college students

Whether you’re just starting out as a freshman or are nearing the end, on Collegeosity, you can help others and help yourself manage the college experience.
