As college students you're always looking for the next best thing and the cheapest price on anything you can find. Classified ads are definately the way to go if you're looking for some cool second-hand stuff, a great deal or a job opportunity. We've compiled a list of useful websiites that target students. These are our Top 5 picks for best classified ad websites for students.
5. College Thrift
Collegethrift.com
is pretty much a thrift store online. It was the only website I found
that had an area specifically for appliances and furniture, which are
expensive and much better to get second hand. Also, many prices are
listed as negotiable. The limited number of schools on this website is
its greatest drawback. Luckily, you can submit a request to have your
school or area added to the list!
4. BlueFreak
Bluefreak.com has a great advantage over most of the other websites, it has a textbook comparison shopper. We all know textbooks are high on the list of things college student need to save on. A second really cool utility on this site is the print a flyer section. You can create a posting and print a flyer for that posting. Although this is a members only feature, registration is free!
3. College Medium
Collegemedium.com
also posts to most colleges and is broken down by state then school.
This website lets you not only post and view items for sale and job
listings but it also has a great area for car pooling and student
commentary on just about anything. The only drawback to this website is
that ads are only viewable by students, and you must log in through a
facebook account. This is definately a draw back for those of you who
have been avoiding facebook.
2. College Classifieds
CollegeClassifieds.com
is a website that directly links to pretty much every college in the
country. The best part of this website is that even if there aren't any
ads for your specific area, they offer a list of local bars, clubs,
restaurants and hotels with a map run by google to help you find your
way around. It's a great resource to not only look up what's on the
market but to see greek messages and other fun activities that may be
going on in your area.
1. Craigslist
Although we all know craigslist.org is not specifically targeted to students, it is your one stop shop for all classified ads in pretty much every major city across the country. If your looking for variety, craigslist has the the amount of users you need to get it. Also, you get thousands of posts a day so you're sure to find just about everything you need.
So there you go, a list of all the places you can go to get great deals on stuff that every college student needs. Go ahead and get searching, your got money to save and opportunities at fingertips!
