The Campus Market is an online marketplace that is exclusive to college students. The marketplace gives students the ability sell or procure items with other students at their university or college. The main mission of The Campus Market is to promote sustainable reuse on campus by providing a simple and effective means of initiating exchange within their campus community. The Campus Market was launched on January 1, 2015 [1] and requires a .edu e-mail address to sign up.[2]
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.
