Sheldon from Manayunk

I have two goals I must fulfill before I leave Philly for the picturesque hills of Edinburgh in the fall. I need to procure a summer subletter (a fruitless endeavor, I know) and I’d also like to find cheap yet durable textbooks so that I don’t have to sink any more money into the Penn Bookstore. After perusing Craigslist in search of these items (and accidentally winding up on the “Casual Encounters” message board), I’ve realized something very important. I must accomplish these aims without interacting with the creepy people from this website, who refuse to accept that yes, I only want to buy their furniture, and no, I would not like to arrange a meeting.

Luckily for me (and you too, if you like to avoid virtual harassment), I heard about Campusdock.com, a website that’s geared specially toward college students. Sign up with a university e-mail address and you can navigate pages that pertain only to Penn. My favorite new pastime is happily coasting through pages and pages of cheap IKEA furniture that seniors can’t lug with them to New York next year.

Sign up and you’ll see — this site’s just as addicting as Craigslist, and there’s far less of a chance of acquiring a stalker named Sheldon from Manayunk who wants to help assemble your new chest of drawers.
