How universities are using theRACK
Student Guide
A mobile-first guide to the "why here?" questions — campus life, support, careers and student voices in one branded link.
A student guide is a mobile-first, institution-wide overview built for prospects, offer holders and arriving students. It covers everything beyond the course itself: campus life, support, accommodation, careers and student voices.
The questions prospects actually have — will I fit in, what is life really like — are rarely answered by a course page.A student guide gives offer holders and undecided prospects one trackable, branded place to explore the institution.
