r/college Rules

No Spam, Surveys, Requests for Participation, or Self-Promotion

Absolutely no surveys, polling, requests for participation, advertising, crowdsourcing, petitions, referral links, selling services, blogs, startup posts, discord links, or asking for money/votes.

No Admissions or Transfer Questions

Questions about applying to college, entrance exams, "chance me" threads, high school prep, or comparing schools are not allowed. Please post these in r/ApplyingToCollege, r/collegecompare, or r/CollegeTransfer.

Be Respectful, Safe, & Sane

Civility: No racism, harassment, threats, trolling, insanity, or spreading misinformation. Do not send unsolicited DMs.

Mental Health: Posts regarding suicide or self-harm are prohibited. This is not a professional resource; please seek appropriate medical or psychiatric help.

No Illegal or Unethical Behavior

Do not engage in or advocate for cheating, plagiarism, essay writing services, improper drug use, criminal behavior, unethical behavior, or copyright violations (e.g., textbook piracy).

No Low-Quality, Venting, or Pointless Posts

Effort: No low-effort posts, memes, reaction gifs, 'arbitrary picture with a story', copypasta, or walls of unformatted text. Use punctuation/capitalization and readable formatting. Do not make posts that are generally pointless, requests for generic advice, or venting.

Titles: Your post title must clearly state the topic or question, or the thread will be removed.

No Major or Career Specific Questions

If you have a major or career specific question, subreddits dedicated to that industry can provide much more relevant and focused guidance. Posts asking the community to choose your major, rank a list of majors for you, or determine your career path based on a short bio are prohibited. Choosing a major is a deeply personal decision that requires professional academic advising and self-reflection that Reddit cannot provide.

Do Not Post About Disallowed Topics

This space is for discussing the college experience. It is not for a place for a specific university, course, book, major, or program. Take homework help, tech support, laptop questions, product recommendations, grading complaints, dating/social advice, therapy sessions, and topics unrelated to college to more appropriate subreddits.

Do Your Own Research First

Do not post easily Googleable questions, questions with obvious solutions, questions regarding specific schedules, or GPA calculation questions. If the clear answer to your question is "ask your professor" or "talk to your advisor/school," do not post it here.
