As the turn of the century approaches, Internet life guides are quickly replacing self-help books and resource guides. Every time I have a paper due or want to find out more information about a subject that I can't find in the library, I look on the Internet. Many companies on the Internet are finding profit by turning their attention toward college students. Web pages are popping up every day with information ranging from health and fitness to love and relationships. The company, which was started in Boston as a discount card business, concentrates on student life and career planning for college undergraduates.
Web surfers can learn about internships, dating, career forecasts and student activism.
For a small one-time fee, the company also offers a membership card with discounts on travel, textbooks and other college necessities. Members also receive a quarterly magazine, published by Student Advantage, which concentrates on student issues at college campuses. We want to offer everything to students from health and lifestyle to education and sports statistics. Student Advantage is currently working on programs that will also focus attention on pre and post-college Internet addicts. The website even presents a workout slide show.
