I've been exploring the current incarnation of StudentBox beta recently and am liking what I see so far. While feeling intuitive and instantly usable, the network also offers some pretty cool and novel features which could prove to be major strengths in the long run.
First of all - this network is exclusively for students. Which means that all its services are highly specialised for the needs of this particular user group. Facebook et al are great for general socialising, communication and fun but don't cover student life in any specific depth. That's where StudentBox comes in - a place where you can keep up to date with exactly what's going on at your university or college, check out exclusive offers for nights out or jobs and share course materials for example.
