7 Funny Valentine's Day Cards for College Students

Whether you love or hate this Hallmark holiday, one thing's for sure: Valentine's isn't really designed for college students. That is, until now!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you love or hate this Hallmark holiday, one thing’s for sure: It’s not really designed for college students. Roses are expensive, greeting cards are sappy, and boxes of chocolate aren’t included in your meal plan. Isn’t it about time someone catered to the broke, jaded, scholarly 18–20-somethings of the world? Well, it’s your lucky day! We’ve come up with some sentiments that any college student can relate to. Print them up, hand them out, and soon everyone on campus will know what is really close to your heart. (Written by Claire Carter; artwork by Matt Bradshaw of Gerbil With A Jetpack)

CollegeXpress has helped me with all aspects of applying for college. The website is extremely easy to navigate and gives access to so many resources. I was able to research all of the colleges I was interested in, find out any information I wished to know about, and keep them organized in a list. I've also been able to research scholarships and save them as resources for later. I've used many websites in my college and scholarship search, and CollegeXpress has by far been my favorite one to use.

CollegeXpress has provided me with tips that were for college students, but as a high school junior, they were still very useful. Not only that, it also gave me an idea of what to expect when it comes to going to college or already being in college. I want to say thank you to CollegeXpress, and I hope you continue the wonderful tips until I hopefully get into college and throughout my college journey.

When I started looking at colleges in the beginning of my senior year, I was conflicted about which ones I wanted to attend based on safety, tuition costs, location, academic rigor, and prestige. Searching the internet and getting more questions than answers, I came across CollegeXpress, which made all the steps I had taken look like a minor issue. Everything was summarized and detailed, and I couldn't be more thankful and appreciative.

CollegeXpress has helped me find scholarships for the colleges I applied to. It was very hard for me to find scholarships in the beginning that I was qualified for. My teachers recommended this website to find some, and not only did I find some scholarships but I also got to look into some schools I hadn’t heard of before. I was very happy to have discovered this website, especially with the coronavirus spreading all over as I can’t really go visit many colleges.

I am a deaf student, and I had always dreamed of going to Gallaudet University. CollegeXpress helped me search though other qualified universities. They helped me know for sure that Gallaudet University was the right choice for me!
