Marketplace
The Campus Market, commonly referred to as "the Craigslist for college students", provides a safe environment that is exclusive for college students while promoting sustainability and green awareness on the collegiate and local level.[3] Central to the experience on The Campus Market are the self-contained marketplaces.[4] This means that students will only see listings from other students at their school. The concept of trust is based on knowing that the students that you are dealing with are all a part of your community.
