I can feel it coming in the air tonight...

O laud... Stop! I dare you to find a website where you can figure out the name of that cute girl that sits in front of you in Anthropology, put those used textbooks up for sale that your roommate left when he moved out, find another roommate, get the phone number for that Chinese restaurant that you love but can never pronounce, watch a video on how to spice up those Ramen noodles after you realize you spent all your money on drinks last night because you saw, on collegestack, that all your friends are going out drinking and forgot to tell you, watch another video on how to unclog your toilet because that chicken was too old to eat, learn how to fill out your FAFSA so you have money to buy Chinese, and realize that there’s a secret door on level 6 of Dungeon & Dragons. That’s why we do what we do. We have a donkey load of other must knows. Close all those other tabs and grab a hearty bite of collegestack.com. If knowledge is food for the soul, then we're a soul feast..

:: What You'll Find at the Main Site :: [ collegestack.com ]


:: Home ::

For Students: An exclusive account fully stocked with a service management system that will notify you of all your College Stack activities. Also, it includes a classmate finder, Messaging System, Quickie Posting, and more...


For Guests: You're entitled to use all the other services less the personal account. All of the services will be listed below.



:: Campus Life ::


Events: This is an interactive calender that allows users to find university affiliated events only. It also allows students to send notifications of these events to a classmate.


Organizations: This service lists and details, with a personal page, every organization in the OSI database at your university. Students can add themselves as an online member if they are interested in being contacted by that organization for potential membership or general info.


Videos: This is an assortment of videos made by collegestack.com to help students in every area of their life imaginable. These videos will wildly run the gamut (from the medievil latin term "gamma ut". Gamma being the lowest musical note on the medievil scale, an octive and a half below the middle C, and it was represented by the Greek letter gamma). Just thought I'd give you a tidbit in the spirit of what we do. We'll be adding videos throughout the year until we've covered it all.


Statistics: A list of the important stats about your university. Want to know every degree your university offers? Well, we have them all listed in a super simple collapsable list. Find any degree in three quick clicks or less.



:: Finders ::


Restaurant: The fastest restaurant finder in the east. It's possible to find the restaurant you're looking for without clicking. Just type the first few letters in the search box, and BAM!, it'll show up before you're done typing. Quick on the draw, this finder allows you to find all the restaurants within a reasonable radius around your university. It also lists the restaurants worthy of driving a few extra miles.


Roommate: Yayah! Finally, a roommate finder tailored specifically for your college community. The most extensive and conclusive finder we are aware of. Every listing you see will be potential roommates that attend your university or college. We like to think of it as the eHarmony of roommate finding.


Housing: We know you need a home away from home. We are working directly with real estate agents, brokers, and complex owners and managers to bring you the reliable and up-to-date info on housing listings. We're the medium without the middle man.


Grocery: Overestimate the power of the grocery store finder. Because, there are specialty grocery stores that are great finds and hard to locate, but we have found them for you. We also give the insider info on local farmer's markets for those fresh preservative-free fruits and veggies.



:: After Hours ::


Bars & Clubs: Listen, socializing is essential for a healthy mind. This is a call to action for all you agoraphobic recluses, work-a-holics, and slackers that think XBOX live, working, and bong circles are enough to keep you sharp. Statistically, employers prefer social skills over all other skills.


Entertainment: This is also an interactive calender that filters by date and alphabet. All these events are not affiliated with the university you attend. From concert to carnival, we'll bring you the local happening.


Hotspots: For those people that are looking for some fun that spreads the spectrum, our hotspots are picked to offer affordable fun. We list attractions, theatres, museums, adrenaline, coffee shops, comedy, dating, and some free wi-fi.



:: Market ::
Originally designed as a medium to sell books and furniture, we've put together a market our mommas are proud of. Once again we've built a place to buy and sell it all for no surcharge or a little off the top. It's free. We bring the the buyers and sellers together and cut out the middle man. Which is easy to do because we are the middle man.



:: Forums ::
We talk about everything college. What isn't covered on the rest of the site can be fleshed out here. We have even put in a forum specifically for parents. So, they can do all the work and spoil Johnny, and when he flunks out they can wonder why. Well, these forums are more for concerned, not over-bearing, parents that just want to help lighten their child's laborious load by helping to find the purest information on the campus to which their angel will be matriculating. Aww, that's sweet, and we love it. So, we wanted to help. Happy hunting.



:: Finances ::
Well, this section is scheduled to grow into a complete walk-through to help these green-horned graduates to learn how to stretch that almighty dollar. As of now, we have a breakdown of the FAFSA experience. We know it can be a pain, and we have made it easy with a step-by-step guide for conquering this burden of a beast to become your beast of burden. Financial aid for college is priority, and the FAFSA must be filled out before that can happen. So, we made this our priority. Take advantage of this. It will help.

Thanks Readers and Followers. We are working hard to bring this community to every university across the nation. So, if we don't have your school, just hang in their. You'll see us on your campus very soon. Just remember to say hi. We come bearing gifts.
