Col­lege stu­dents: you know all about those "101" lec­tures. Eco­nom­ics 101. Phi­los­o­phy 101. Physics 101. By the time you're a senior, its pretty stan­dard to have taken 4–5 intro­duc­tory "101" courses. That's a lot of basic learn­ing w/o prerequisites.

We need your help with our "Col­lege 101" pro­gram. But we don't want you to take the class.

We want you to teach it.

You are a cur­rent col­lege stu­dent — you are an expert on the topic of col­lege. Sure, your expe­ri­ences are dif­fer­ent than other folks, and you may not have joined every club, attended every frat party, or even passed every class. That's okay (pos­si­bly). You lived and you learned (right?). Right.

We want your knowl­edge. We want your cre­ativ­ity. We want YOU to share your insights on what col­lege is all about: no holds-barred, PG-13, hon­est infor­ma­tion that you just can't find any­where else.

We want you… but the thou­sands of high school stu­dents you will be reach­ing need you. Many are look­ing at col­lege, head­ing off to col­lege, and enter­ing col­lege totally unaware of what col­lege life is actu­ally like! Social life is more than Ani­mal House. Aca­d­e­mic life is not quite Dead Poet's Society.

Col­lege life is a mys­tery to high school stu­dents. But it isn't a mys­tery to you.

We are look­ing for guest blog­gers, cin­e­matog­ra­phers, per­form­ers, artists, poets, and other con­tent cre­ators to con­tribute to our site in a range of dynamic medi­ums, all focused on spilling the truth about col­lege. Be in touch with me at kevin.adler@bettergrads.org if you are inter­ested. Thanks for car­ing and sharing.
