For Parents

Twitter chats are a fun way to connect with other college students -- from different parts of the country and world -- and learn about what exactly you'll be getting yourself into this fall. Don't forget to follow #UChic every other Tuesday, starting at 9pm ET on Aug. 2 and check out our first chat transcript! 

Blogging is a great way to show the World Wide Web what you're made of, however, you need to remember a few key tips for keeping your public life as clean -- and professional -- as your resume. 

Slingbox allows you to have total control over your television set from any portable media device, and this includes all of the benefits of DVR!  This is great for college students who are suffering the dorm room blues.  

Each Tuesday we'll be hosting chats with our Editorial Board and #Twitteristas to help businesses, college students and recent grads navigate the world of college and beyond.

Having roommates can be tough. Whether you don’t get along or you’ve just never lived with anyone other than your parents before, dorm life is an adjustment. So when it comes to moving in, it’s important to know who is bringing what—or else you’ll end up wasting the precious little space you have with two microwaves, two mini-fridges, two televisions…well, you get the point. Here's some tips to help you determine who brings what before your parents are re-packing the van with the extras. 

Are you a recent graduate looking for a job? Think you're desperate? The question may no longer be "are you desperate," but more "how desperate are you." Alisha Madkins was so desparate that she tied a billboard to herself, after some advice from a homeless man, and walked around Boston for hours looking for a gig. The result? 

Here's some Twitter users we think you (and your parents) should follow. Don't forget to join in on our @UniversityChic #UChic Twitter Tuesday Chats beginning on Thursday, July 14 at 9 p.m. ET. 

We'll be hosting a Twitter Chat every Tuesday (with the first one starting on Thursday, July 14) from 9 p.m. ET to 9:30 p.m. ET on a variety of topics.
