Uloop is a network of online marketplaces and university news websites for college students, featuring classified advertisements (with Housing, Jobs, Roommates, Internships, Textbooks, Test Prep, Tutors, and Study Abroad categories).

History[edit]

The Nashville, Tennessee and Chicago, IL, based company[2][3] first launched at University of California, Santa Barbara, in January, 2007,[4] and during 2007 expanded to additional college campuses around the United States.[5] In the fall of 2007, Gannett made an investment in Uloop.[6] In the early days of Uloop, Uloop had campus reps promoting Uloop on college campuses around the country.[3][4] In 2008, there was an NLRB motion filed by two campus reps for a Uloop employee removing forum discussions about adjustments to the campus rep pay structure. The filing was subsequently closed.[7] CampusAve, the white-label classifieds platform for more than 175 college newspapers, merged with Uloop in 2010.[3] As of February, 2013, Uloop is active on over 1500 college and university campuses across the United States, and Uloop has 500 students nationwide who contribute to the Uloop news service.[8] Uloop is a free service for students, staff, and faculty at colleges and universities.[5] Employers and housing providers can pay to post job listings and housing listings to Uloop.[5] Uloop is often referred to as the Craigslist for college students.[8]

Traffic[edit]

Uloop reaches around 3.5 million college students, or 10% of the total college students in the United States. Their website has over 500,000 active listings.[9]
