YOUR CAMPUS, ONLINE.
Social Hub Goes Viral among University Students
Campus life can be pointlessly complicated. Between course advising, tutoring, filing complaints, flat-hunting, book auctions, event posting and a heap of other things, students often feel lost and at a disadvantage. However, it was only a matter of time before some tech-savvy entrepreneur with his share of campus hassle thought of a solution. Campus Society is an online social platform that started out with one simple goal: to make campus life easier in the bureaucratic American University of Beirut (AUB) institution. After garnering 20% of AUB students in the first two days, the Londonbased startup was quickly embraced as the most efficient “go-to” social platform for students who just want to “get things done,” track events, post jobs, rate professors and reach out to their peers. Word quickly spread last week to the 14 other universities located in Lebanon, who did not waste any time contacting the tech-savvy graduates. So far more than 2000 students have signed up, 15% of them from AUB.
