It's a great environment for connections with others in the LinkedIn environment.

I love the fact that you can connect with your peers from all over the country to talk about anything! The website is easy to navigate, and it's great that you can search for people by major or hometown. There are many different ways to connect with other users, which makes it easy to find others who share similar interests. It is difficult to create a profile if you don't have a LinkedIn account. Make sure you create a profile before joining so you can easily contact other users. We use this…

Pros
  • I like the ability to connect with friends and coworkers to discuss potential opportunities
Cons
  • I don't like how difficult it is to create a profile if you don't have an account and don't want to sign up for one

Great resource - Helps students find scholarships/financial assistance

I really liked having access to my class list, so it was easy for me to see what classes were available when registering at firsthandschools.com! There could be some more options in terms of how much you can pay per month or year as well with your membership level. It's definitely worth trying out if they offer any specials during registration period (like early bird). The benefits are endless once you use this program from start to finish throughout high school because there's no way we would…

Pros
  • Easy sign up process
  • Lots o f resources/tools provided by FIRSTHANDSCHOOL
  • Great community / support network around each other which has helped us tremendously both personally & professionally..even though sometimes too convenient ;)
Cons
  • I will keep silent
