I became a member of this site after reading an op about in on dooyoo a while ago. On my old computer the site kept on making my computer crash and it was take a rather long time to load up. But, on a fast modem it works and loads up really quickly.
The site is designed for students in mind however it doesn?t mean that if you are not a student you are banned from the site. Far from it.

For students this is a really good site, it has information on most of the universities in England and Wales. Along with courses offered which is especially useful since many students who haven?t chose a course will be doing so. There?s also sections on music, books, competition, travel and even a chat room. But, there?s hardly anyone in the chat room so it?s not worth bothering with.

When you visit the site you will probably agree with me that the background décor is dreadful. It?s bright yellow and it really does hurt your eyes.
The most attractive thing about this site is that they want reviewers to write opinions on their site. Simply, sign up become a member and you can get started. For one opinion you can get £5. The difference is that you do not post the opinion straight onto the site. You email it to this woman called Shashana and she decides whether your opinion is up to scratch. If it isn?t then you don?t get accepted. Also if there?s opinions on a popular topic then you are least likely to get your opinion accepted.

At the moment I don?t think the quality of the opinion is very good. The opinions here are much better. I have been really busy with exams but after that I may write a few opinions to earn some extra cash. Payment is made at the end of each month.

This seems like a good site, it?s got some good features besides the chance to earn a few extra bob. However, if Shashana doesn?t like your style of writing or your viewpoint she can reject your opinions which can mean a lot of time wasted. Certainly, if you have the ti
me it seems like a good idea.

Compared to dooyoo??.
Dooyoo is much better, it?s got excellent writers and a brilliant community. Ok, it doesn?t pay as well as it used to but it is still informative. It must be good because I have been visiting the site for nearly two years. With smartstudent.co.uk you can get bored very easily. As a student wants you?ve done a university search, checked the top ten music singles, news etc. There?s nothing much to keep you there.

Overall, smartstudents.co.uk could become a good site over time. It needs to develop into more of an interactive website and the quality needs to be better. They definitely need to change the sites décor although the layout is good. Navigation however is good.
