Campus tours will tell you about the Arch and a book housed in the library bound in human skin, but will that information help you avoid a $40 University parking ticket?

Many new students say they wish they “coulda-woulda-shoulda” known something about the University before move-in day.

Thanks to AskBeforeCollege.com, University students can impart knowledge to prospective Dogs in exchange for funds toward a non-profit organization of their choice.

The Web site was created by college students Brian Hosokawa and Blake Spiers from the University of Southern California and Claremont.

“We talked about how college wasn’t what we expected,” Hosokawa said. “We thought it’d be cool for high school students to get info that was relevant to them from college students like ourselves.”

As an incentive for participation, Spiers said every time a user answers a question and refreshes a page with an advertisement, he or she would receive 25 percent of the profit from the ad.

After only a month and a half in operation, the Web site has more than 1,500 active users.
