How do I find what I’m looking for?
From the landing page:
1. Type in what you’re looking for in the search bar
2. Click search!
From anywhere else:
1. Type in what you’re looking for in the search bar
2. Set some filters to get targeted results
a. Select a category of interest
b. Tick off any additional filters, including:
i. Title Only – only returns keywords found in the title of the listing
ii. Has Image – restricts results to listings with photos (I’m a visual learner, too).
iii. Include Non-student listings – searches listings from more than just students. This can be very helpful.
c. Set price parameters
3. Click search!
What if I just want to browse?
We got you covered. From the landing page, just click on a category that you’re interested in and cruise. You can also click any of the category tabs above the listings to browse a specific category at any time.
What can I post on CollegeCraig?
Just about everything, but not anything. Let us explain.
Do post:
- Sublets while you’re studying abroad

- Rideshares to the festival
- Your old textbooks!
- Gently used furniture (wink, wink)
- That great fundraiser for scholarship money . . . for scholarships
- Study buddy study groups
- Jobs for students
- High fives
- Funny posts (we totally allow that)
- Class notes
- Student housing
- Student deals (happy hours, discounts, etc.)
- Bicycles
- Fake mustaches
Do NOT Post
- Yourself
- Your pet, or any living animal
- Anything that falls under the umbrella of "a favor"
- Your ticket scalping business
- Anything derogatory, insulting, or even a little bit mean or offensive. We have absolutely no tolerance for this and will block your e-mail address on your first violation. Don’t hate.
- Illegal or Stolen content
- False or fraudulent content
- Anyone else’s personal information
- Malicious content or spam
- Content in any way related to the creation, advertising, distribution, provision, or receipt of illegal goods or services
- Anything that infringes the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property of others
- Anything that could damage our company or our image!
What if I only want to deal with students?
Then you should only want to deal on CollegeCraig. You can restrict your search results to only student listings by ticking the “Include Non-student Listings” box off. If you are creating a listing, you can tick “I only want to deal with students,” and we will not allow anyone without a .edu e-mail to respond to your listing. Bam!
What’s the best way to pick-up a girl?
Be bold. Be unforgiving. Work for CollegeCraig.
Oh heck ya! Check out our Jobs page.
Here’s some handy-dandy step-by-step instructions:
- Click a “Post” button
- Select the category for your listing
- Fill out the form!
- Read our terms and conditions carefully. They must be accepted before submitting your listing
- IMPORTANT! Check your e-mail for a confirmation link
- Click the link in your e-mail to confirm your listing
- Pat yourself on the back, and watch the mullah flow
Does it cost money to use CollegeCraig?
Nope! CollegeCraig is currently offered as a 100% free service, and we are committed to always being free for students.
How do I edit, inactivate, or reactivate my post?
Follow the link sent in your listing confirmation e-mail. Edit freely.
Usually, your listing will expire in 30 days from posting.
How do I get more Twitter followers?
Be bold. Be unforgiving. Work for CollegeCraig.
How can I add to and save my favorite listings?
How cool is it that we are about to tell you that you can do this on CollegeCraig? Pretty darn cool.
Once you open a listing, click "Add to My Favorites" over on the right-hand side near the star. Now check the widget in the bottom right corner of your browser.
To store or share your favorites, just click "Store or Share," enter your's or your friends' email addresses, and hit "Send Favorites." Voila!
How do I find listings I recently viewed?
Oh baby, we love recent listings. Check out that little widget in the bottom right corner of your browser window. Some of them are just chilling down there.
How do I contact CollegeCraig?
Carrier pigeon. Or here.
Other students and university-locals perusing the site! They will not, however, see your e-mail address until you write them an e-mail personally. Leading us to our next question . . .
Tres safe. Consider some of our features: hidden e-mail address, student-only filter, student-only response option, university e-mail verification system, killer sense of judgment and diligent policing by CollegeCraig staff, spam and other listing filters and review systems on our back-end, the ability to meet on campus in a safe environment, and a responsive customer service desk. That’s just a few off the top of our heads…
Unless it expired, you probably said something that got caught by our filters. You can ask us about specific listings if you really think we made a mistake, but we would recommend first checking out our terms and conditions.
Who’s more bad arse, Bear Grills or Survivor Man?
Bear Grills’ camera man.
While browsing through listings, just tick that little "X" that pops up as you hover your mouse over an individual listing. That should dim that specific listing. To unhide, simply repeat and watch it reappear. We're running this thing like a well-oiled machine over here.
What if my school is not on CollegeCraig?
Suggest your school and let us know! We are expanding as quickly as we can, but want to be sure to nurture all university launches. Or drop us a line if you want to get involved with the launch!
How do I get some CollegeCraig merch?
Just ask!
The flagging feature allows our community to monitor the site. It’s a way to keep things safe, efficient, and friendly. Once a listing receives 3 flags, it is automatically placed in listing review purgatory until further review by our staff.
How do I pay for things I want?
This should be worked out between you and the person that you’re dealing with. We generally suggest cash. Avoid any sort of money transfer, wire transfer, Western Union, or get rich quick scenarios. See more detailed precautions on the Your Safety page.
How do I invest in CollegeCraig?
Use it. That’s the best investment. That’s why we made this. But if you really want to throw us boatloads of cash, then fine – Contact Us.
How do I know if a listing or a response is a scam?
Trust your instincts. If it looks too good to be true, requires you to provide your bank account number, or anything else remotely sketchy, just avoid it and let us know so that we can do our best to investigate. See more information on Your Safety page.
Perfect. It’s so you.
