Win $200 by reviewing your college or housing
We're building Miami's go-to platform for honest student reviews, which means every week, one reviewer walks away with a $200 gift card.#
Your experience at college is worth something. Literally.
Whether your campus blew you away or your housing left a lot to be desired, future Miami students need to hear it. So every single week, one honest review earns someone a $200 gift card — your choice of retailer, no strings attached.
Every week. One winner. $200 gift card.
How it works
1. Leave a review Rate your university or your student housing on StudentCrowd. Takes about 2 minutes. Good, bad, or somewhere in between — every honest review counts as an entry into that week's draw.
2. Get entered automatically No forms, no hoops. The second your review goes through, you're in. Review both your uni and your housing for two shots at winning that week.
3. We pick a winner every week Each week, we draw one lucky reviewer at random and send them a $200 gift card, picked by them, on us.
