The ultimate source for
student reviews of colleges and universities is now live at
StuVu.com! The recent release of our website has been exciting, especially with the timing for high school students. November is the month where most colleges have their deadlines for applications, and it’s also the month where college bound high schoolers are thinking about which college they want to go to.
That’s where
StuVu.com comes in.
StuVu.com is a place for high school students to research schools that they want to attend, and get an idea of what being a student at that particular campus is like through the eyes of a student. All of the videos, photos and reviews on the site are created by students at those universities, which ensures that everyone gets an authentic view of a “day in the life” of a university student at that particular college. College bound high school students, and even undergraduates looking for grad schools can base their decision on
student reviews of colleges and universities rather than statistics and guide books written by people who haven’t been in college in years.
StuVu.com is also a place for current college and university students to share reviews, photos and videos of all kinds of facilities, restaurants, services and events around campus with their fellow students. As a newer student on campus, you may not be familiar with certain campus services, or hot spots in town that other students may know about.
StuVu.com can bridge that gap of knowledge and make sure that everyone on campus knows where to go and what things they should avoid.
The bottom line is that most high school students currently base their college decision on top 100 lists, statistics and pamphlets created by the schools themselves.
StuVu.com provides a community that allows college students to be the voice that directs college bound students to the right colleges based on what’s important to them, because in the end, there’s a lot more to college than just statistics.

After a long day of work the last thing you have time to do is go home and change. You want to go the bar or the club with your friends and work off some unnecessary stress. This is how you can do exactly that while looking your best and not making your boss flinch from your choice of attire.
Khakis or a cute skirt can never be too dressy or to club ready when paired with the right accessories. Sometimes if you’re really pushing it, you can throw on a pair of neutral corduroy pants and a fancy shirt and be good to go out with your buddies after working from nine to five.
Layer, Layer, Layer. This is crucial. Put your professional clothes over your snappy drink wear and always make sure it matches. Your job isn’t the time to experiment with fashion unless you work in the industry so keep the fishnets or clogs in your locker.
A fresh shave or make-up instantly makes you look more professional and attractive to both your bosses and those hotties at the bar. Always look your best and sometimes all it takes is five minutes in front of the mirror in the morning to get it right.
Have fun with it. No matter what you’re wearing, make sure you’re comfortable and that it fits you in all the right places, nothing is worse than a bad fit to kill your self esteem.

When the beer bong was first introduced to the college party scene, it changed the game completely. No one knows for sure when this actually happened, but one thing is for sure, the way that beer was consumed changed drastically. Well, the same kind of game changing breakthrough is happening right now with the invention of the Beer Belt. Yes, you read that right… the “Beer Belt”. This handy tool belt-like apparatus is quickly becoming a must have for every serious partier. Wearing this thing says two things: 1) I like to party and 2) I should be taken VERY seriously. It features a sleek black and grey Batman-esque design with slots for up to 6 beers. That means you can stash an entire six-pack to the neighborhood hot spot and still have both hands available for high-fives and beer bong hits. You can get it at
Urban Outfitters. Make sure you’re the first one to have this, because you definitely don’t want to be the guy who totally copies the original guy that introduced the belt to the scene. But then again, this seems like the kind of invention that will be in the hands of just about everyone at a party within the next year or so.

Whether underage or of age, the college staple has to be the foamy goodness of beer, beer, and more beer. Here’s the low-down on what brews they are drinking and kegs they are tapping so you can get antiquated before you get to school. Start chugging.
Natural Light
The cheap and easy, most available beer around for freshman. This is widely popular for games of Beirut or beer pong.
Budweiser
The good old American beer. Nothing says mid-west more than a Bud.
Guinness
A dark Irish brew, more expensive than your average beer but well worth it. Goes down as smooth as milk. Mixes well with Bailey’s for the good ‘ol Irish Car Bomb.
Sam Adams
Cheaper than Guinness but with just as much taste and a variety of flavors. This is a great choice if you want to keep it classy, but don’t want to spend too much.
Miller Light
For those on a diet, cheap and somewhat good for you.
Pabst Blue Ribbon
The Blue Ribbon says it all, this is some prize winning beer. Especially when it comes to college campuses.
